    Description

    Please Note:  This unbuilt paper craft model is produced by
    Edu*Craft Diversions
    not Revell.
    1000s of satisfied builders...!
    Also available in 1:70 scale.
    This is an un-built, heavy paper craft model of NASA's  Crawler Transporter to be displayed with the Apollo Saturn V Rocket
    Launch
    Umbilical
    Tower
    (LUT)
    in 1:72 scale, available separately.  It is designed to bear the load of the LUT 72 and Saturn V 1:72 resting on it.
    Auction is for the CRAWLER TRANSPORTER unbuilt craft model only... Rocket and LUT are not included.   It is a static model without moving parts, and can be displayed with any liked scaled model.   Suggestions for other scales are welcome.
    This unbuilt heavy paper craft model includes:
    1 set of  11"x17" color laser 60 lbs. test, heavy paper stock parts sheets.
    1 CD containing the Assembly Procedure Manual in PDF file.
    This has bare bones packaging to reduce costs...  It is sent rolled in a USPS Priority package.  Includes parts sheets and instructions manual CD only.
    The heavy paper (60 lbs.) is tested and deemed best for precision and other factors.  After gluing, laminating, folding and assembly, it bears up strongly.
    The load bearing main chassis is fabricated by the builder out of cardboard  he or she supplies (or other material if preferred) with the outer skin and details attached to it.
    Will require scissors, water based various color marking pens for some reverse coloring and edges, cutting board, white glue, cardboard for sub-support on some constructs, etc (Not included).  But all color cover and graphics are included.
    The Crawler Transporter was devised and used by NASA for its Apollo program, The flight to land the first men on the Moon and return them safely to the Earth.  Two were produced by the Marion Power Shovel Company in 1965, which were used to transport the entire Saturn V, Launch Platform and Umbilical Tower from the Vehical Assembly Building to pads 39 A and B.  In fact, while LUT #1 was recently destroyed due to ecological concerns, parts of Apollo Program launch hardware are still in use today.  If you look carefully, the upper portion of the Launch Umbilical Tower can be seen amidst the Shuttle pad structures... And the Apollo Mobile Launcher Platfrom was reconfigured to facilitate Shuttle flights.  But... The new Orion/Constellation manned space program will start with a fresh canvas for its new launch facilities, already in progress as the Shuttle program is retiring.  Interestingly, the old, original Crawler Transporters from 1965,
    will
    be used for the new program.
