I know they're working on a 1/100 Gemini Titan, and they already have a 1/100 Saturn 1B.
What about a 1/100 3D printed Saturn V?

I don't know for sure, only see the 5 engine can with display nozzles and the 1/100 capsule at this point.

OK got with Alex and he is undecided at this point on the 1/100 Scale Saturn V if he will be doing any builder's type of kit or not.
Gemini Titan 1/100 Scale is close to coming, along with 1/45 Scale builder's kit based Gemini to boot. I'm very interested in how he will handle the fins on these kits. So now we have the Mercury Redstone; Atlas, then add in the future Gemini Titan and Saturn 1's SA5 and SA7 along with the Saturn 1B not to forget the new improved detail Apollo Capsule set. Wow! That's a lot of rockets! Even then they aren't flying, they will make one awesome display.

In the injected molding (IM) world, transparent plastics can be a real challenge to get right. The nightmares of having bubbles in your piece, some of which can only be seen with a UV light. The transparent plastic that I have seen used in modelling have tended to be a bit on the brittle side, especially compared to an opaque part made with the same type of plastic.
