Jerry,

The Semroc Saturn 1B scale is 1:70, so it’s a really nice, large kit. It is also the same scale as the Apogee 1B kit, so builders can elect to buy the nice plastic Apollo Capsule kit for their Semroc kit. (I did, but have not started building it yet.)

The Estes Saturn 1B kit coming later will be 1:100 scale, the same scale as the Estes Saturn V kits. So, it really should not compete. If anything, most scale enthusiasts would want both. A huge 1B, and a smaller 1B to display nicely with their Estes Saturn V. (Well, maybe not most, but I have multiple Estes Saturn 1B and Saturn V kits. And a 1:100 Little Joe II kit. And the newer large LITTLE Joe II kit. I also have the Apogee Saturn 1B kit. And I plan to buy the Saturn V Skylab kit recently shown at NARCON.

May I live long enough to finish all my Saturn and Apollo Program kits.
