“Erection of Apollo verification vehicle spacecraft onto 500F facility vehicle at National Aeronautics and Space Administration Vehicle Assembly Building, John F. Kennedy Space Center.”
I wonder where the circumferential black aft portion of the Service Module (SM) is. Painted on later, prior to rollout? Note also the lack of RCS quads on the SM.
Amazing detail & resolution to be found, to include “SEXTANT & TELESCOPE” stenciled(?) on the outlined panel immediately below/adjacent to the forward heat shield (apex cover) of the M-11 boilerplate Command Module.
