Chris,
I am looking forward to using the new fins on the Saturn V build. I built an Estes Saturn 1B (1/100 scale) about a year ago and those 8 vacuformed fins were fun! Actually, I enjoyed the challenge, and just took my time.
I’d certainly welcome a set of injection molded or possibly 3D printed replacements for the two other kits I have, mainly for the greater resistance to damage that they would offer.
