Sputnik 1 and "Semyorka"

Something old, something new. I just added Erik Te Groen's most excellent 1/96 Sputnik 1 R-7 "Semyorka" launch vehicle to my previously built display of the satellite itself. Mostly stock, but I used a few plastic bits for details here and there, and downscaled the characteristic booster crossmembers from Leo Cherkashyn's Vostok launch vehicle. Making and painting 20 main engine bells does build character! :)



Слава советской науке!
