SAN DIEGO, California USA — Skunk Works Rocketry proudly announces the release of their newest kit, a 1/38 scale Saturn V. The rocket stands 9 feet 7 inches tall and is 10 inches in diameter. It is a single stage rocket with a central 98mm and 4 outboard 54mm motor mounts. The central 98mm comes with a 98-54 adapter in the kit.

There are 10 molded fiberglass components in the kit, including a 41" long nose cone.

The kit comes dual deployment ready, with a coupler based altimeter bay. Everything is included except parachutes. The kit has over 700 pieces so you can detail it fully. Skunk Works Rocketry has tested the rocket on an Aerotech K695 redline where it flew to appx. 700'. The second test was with a Cesaroni K445 in the central motor mount and 4 Cesaroni J210s in the outboards. The rocket performed perfectly and flew to 3,838'.
