Haven’t decided if I really want this kit. I have the larger Semroc version still in the box. Haven’t got the nerve to start it yet.

That's what I should have done--but I just couldn't wait.

I'm working on a vintage Estes LJII in 1/100 scale. With the 1B, the LJII, the Skylab, and the SV I already have (all in 1/100 scale) I hope to have an epic same scale Saturn/Apollo fleet next year!

I have the old Neubauer 1/100th Jupiter C, Mercury Redstone, Mercury Atlas, and Gemini Titan to fill out my Estes 1/100 Saturns and LJII. It make an awesome display in my living room. Particularly when you look at the growth of "state of the art" between the Mercury Redstone (1961) and Saturn V (1968) - simply amazing, all the more so when you remember most of that was done with sliderules and notepads - digital computers still being in their infancy.
Now I'm going to have to figure out how to make room to add the Skylab Saturn V and 1B to the display (like gh I'm just waiting for AC to get them in stock).

Same here!

(AND I have my original Estes 1/70 built . . . well, as well built as something I started as a 13 year old could be built.)
