New Shepard RTF model for Christmas.

I liked her shirt, very nice color and style. Wish they would put those on sale.

Love Super Mars Snooper and Blue Origin looks. Letter one looks to be RTF, but I am willing to overlook that.

SpaceX RTF kit in spring'22 should be beautiful, too.

Still haven't made up my mind about DARC-1. It reminds me of Squirrel Works XR-V, which I liked. But this one wont glide, and the second set of fins is ... donno.

My local hobby shop got more info on the Blue Origin rocket. It is item #2198, and has a MSRP of $69.99 (same as the 1/200 Saturn V and 1/200 SLS). Strangely, the scale is listed as 1/66 not 1/200 as referred to in the Manufacturer's forum video. I attached their official image.

As large as it was when Ms. Langford was showing it, there is no way it was 1/200th. 1/66th makes much more sense for the actual size of the thing. New Shepard is MUCH smaller than either Saturn V or SLS.

New Shephard on the far left in this image. I think you can find the Saturn V and SLS.

The New Shepard I saw in Pueblo was about 12” long. No jokes intended, I am serious ...

OK, I zipped thru to see it in the video. My guess is probably pretty close.
