LES/CM/SM
[Launch Escape Tower/Command Module/Service Module]

Parts needed:

Very little to discuss here in my project. I'm using RealSpace Model's 1/96 CSM w/boost protect cover and the Revell kit Launch Escape Tower.  However, you can build the Revell CSM and then update it with the New Ware parts which convert the CSM from Block I to Block II. I'm using foil instead of paint to detail both the SM and the CSM. The radiators will be painted white.

If you choose to take this path, the first thing you'll need to do is sand all of the detail off of the SM including the umbilical fairing. You'll also need to remove the same umbilical from the CM. After you're finished sanding, you'll also have to remove the three rings on the SPS engine bell. They don't exist on the real hardware. Make sure you use finer and finer sandpapers as you go, otherwise every little groove, line and divot will show once it's painted or covered with foil.

The photo at right shows the Revell CSM with the New Ware conversion parts added. The umbilical has been removed from near the side hatch and filled with putty. I have also filled the slots for the two antenna placements on the CM [they were moved to the SM on the Block II version] and also the slot for displaying the CSM over a moon landing diorama.  Sanding, more puttying and painting will follow. I also added the optics port and the correct umbilical to the reverse side of the CSM. These parts came from the New Ware kit. The RCS thrusters also need to be added. 

Below is a side by side comparison of the RealSpace CSM to the Revell kit part with the New Ware added detail.  Since I knew that I wasn't going to use the Revell CSM, the sanding job isn't the best, however, you can see the physical difference between the two. The RealSpace BPC is to the right, with the Revell LES attached.

And here's the hatch detail with a couple of Rick's decals attached. It's slightly out of focus, but I wanted to get as close as possible to show how great the decals really are.
