Hello Everyone,

Skylab 2 Saturn 1B SA-206
Skylab 3 Saturn 1B SA-207
Skylab 4 Saturn 1B SA-208

To complete your display of each of the above missions, there’s also the Milkstool, LUT and Launch Platform. And as a special surprise release you’ll also find the KSC Rocket Garden Saturn 1B SA-209, horizontally displayed including the support stands.

Jon has graciously agreed to host the files at The Lower Hudson Valley Paper Model Giftshop. To download any of these models please follow the link below.

Try opeining with Adobe Reader 8.1. I had the same problem with my older version. This fixed it.

Yes, I had to update to the 2.3 version of Foxit to read these files, and plug in an addon as well. I converted the LUT/Milkstool, that one should read fine with older PDF readers.

which plugin did you use and how did you instal it please?

go to this page:

Foxit Software

and download these add-ons:

JPEG2000/JBIG Decoder download Info 2.0.2008.0425 197 KB 04/25/08
Eastern Asian Language Support download Info 1.0.2006.0912 1.25 MB 09/12/06

they are zip files, just add the contents of them to the sub-directory that you installed foxit to. In my case it was:

Thank you very much,
George and Mike,

I have downloaded them all. I think I will start with the 'old' Saturn V and LUT.
Thanks again.

Best,
Bengt

[WeeVikes]

Bengt,

You're certainly welcome to build the "old" version, but we're updating the Saturn V models as well, so you may want to wait for the new ones. It won't be long, I promise.
