In 1966 a dummy Saturn V rocket was built in order to test the facilities at the newly constructed Launch Complex 39. It was called SA-500F and it had a different paint scheme than what was eventually used. I thought that it would be a neat idea for someone to try and create some textures that could be used with the AMSO Saturn V.

Looks like the only differences that are noticeable are on the SII and SIVB stages.

Seems like a pretty simply paint job, if I have time this week I'll take a crack at it.

EDIT --- 2000th post.

This is something that could be useful for Apollo inspired add-ons. I'm thinking Beyond Apollo or Another Apollo Project (AAPO).
