composerman Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Does anyone know where I could find some drawings of the LUT on launch complex 14? I recently purchased the "All Systems Go" Mercury Atlas kit and I though I might attempt a scratch build of the LUT to add to the detail. Thanks, Troy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I have seen some basic drawings online but you'd be guessing at a lot of the details. The Revell kit is an abridged version of the real LC-14 structure, it is shortened and abbreviated. Again, there are basic line drawings out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

composerman Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thanks for the information. However, I'm looking for drawings for the other service structure that had the crew access arm. I think LVM Studios made one, but they seem to be defunct. I searched, but can't seem to find anything suitable, just a few photos here and there. Thanks, Troy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) There was a pdf of the instructions on their website but I see they lost their domain. i search on the Wayback web archive and found the product page with a link to the instruction manual but apparently it wasn’t “captured” http://web.archive.org/web/20160130021730/http://lvm-studios.com/project/lc14110/ .

K2Pete Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 On Britmodeller, there's a guy who is building, and augmenting this kit ... and if you go to page 7, scroll down halfway, he's starting the LVM tower ... now, he hasn't updated his build in a year, but he may have some info for you ... if you ask nicely! https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235005794-launch-14-coopers-rocket/page/7/ Hope this helps!

composerman Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks for the link. I'll reach out and see what happens. Have a great week! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Glad i found this thread, i've been reverse engineering the LUT from the britmodeller page. What a build! This, for me, was the money shot: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptKirk Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Rich O also built an awesome crawler in something like 1:72 scale. Not sure if he still posts on that other site - many of the really good modellers there left. If I remember correctly, some of that launch assembly was from a kit. I think Manfred was/is friends with him and may know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spaceman Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Yep, my friend Rich has used some old kits you can see at the beginning of his great thread in Britmodeller Forums. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235005794-launch-14-coopers-rocket/ I have helped him with some NASA photos like these here. But he had some problems during his building process with his nice cats, has meanwhile also moved and unfortunately lost some things in the process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I found a pdf of the LVM Studios instructions for the LC-14 crew access tower, PM me with an email address if you want a copy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
