Sorry for the number of questions Expand It's KV-1 Rescaled down to 1.1m and all Tantares parts are rescaled up to 1.5m so that the whole upper stage can fit the recently restored 1.5m R7 launch vehicle. And I find that 1.5m rescale for tantares soyuz spacecraft is also the way that you can get it closest to real life scale. https://imgur.com/UgKkQS9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I've lost count of the number of iterations of the N1-L3 stack I've built, but after stumbling upon some documents at altertnativehistory.com I've finally got the bloody beast built correctly. Everything has gone smoothly so far, now getting ready for powered descent. I'll be happy as long as the Blok-D is the only thing that crashes.

I went back through the build of the LK from scratch to make sure there were no leftovers of previous design experiments. If she lifts off without incident, I'll consider my days of tinkering with the L3 stack over (until the next major update), and the fun of missions rather than trial runs can start.
