Back in the late 1970's or early 1980's someone posted in the Model Rocketeer offering the K-29 kit for sale. I wrote (via snail mail) that person and offered something like $40 for it, he accepted and off went a money order. Arrived a few weeks later and it was forgotten, stored in my mom's attic for years (other things more important got in the way), when visiting that house in the early 2000's (2008, I think) something told me to check that attic and there it was, same box tucked away in the corner in the attic.

I finally got around to building it around 2010 or so, using the SEMROC plastic Apollo Capsule/LES/RCS instead of the kit's balsa/cardstock parts. But the cluster engine mount wasn't as straight as I'd like, so it's just a display model now. I do have the SEMROC version 1/70 of this kit that will be built for flying (4 engine cluster). I've purchased the Saturn 1-B skin kits from accur-8 that will be used on the SEMROC model when I get around to building it. Both kits are true builder's models looking for a nice challenge.
