Request: Apollo Block 1 CM

[DaveJ576]

Can we revisit the idea of incorporating the Apollo Block 1 CM? As I see it, this involves changes to the following parts:

1. Command Module. As shown in the pictures below, there were five visual differences to the CM. First, the negative pitch RCS thrusters, located between the drogue chute canisters, were arranged vertically on the Block 1 and horizontally on the Block 2. Second, the tunnel was narrower and taller with no provisions for a docking probe. Third, since the Block 1 did not have an EVA capability there were no handholds on the exterior. Fourth, The scimitar antennas that were mounted on the SM in the Block 2 were actually mounted on the CM in the Block 1. This requires no rework as the antenna is already a separate part and can be attached anywhere. Fifth, the umbilical trunk was located on the front side of the CM for Block 1, with the cables being cut explosively. This left a portion of the trunk attached to the CM, below the hatch and to the right of center.
   
   
   

2. Parachute Cover, a.k.a. the "forward heatshield". As shown in the Apollo 1 training photo, it appears as the BDB Apollo 1.25m Parachute Cover and the Apollo Block 1 Nose Cone were all one piece. The parachute cover would also have to have a different shape cutout to accommodate the vertically arranged negative pitch RCS.
   

3. Apollo Block 1 Nose Cone. Part could be deleted because it would be incorporated as described above.

4. Apollo 2.5m Capsule Decoupler. We would need a version with the umbilical connection on the front right.
   

5. Apollo Command Module Boilerplate. Make similar changes to the Command Module.

6. Apollo Service Module Boilerplate. Make similar changes as outlined above for the decoupler.

One last thing, is it possible to get an Apollo LES that lacks the BPC? This style was used on the boilerplate missions were the tower attached directly to the boilerplate, without the boost protective cover.

I am thinking that much of this could be done via B9PS. Having written a few small patches, I have a small idea of the complexity of what I am asking. No harm no foul if you decide not to.
