GLENDALE, Arizona USA — Hobby rocketry's hottest commodity is proud to announce the latest release of her new 1/48 scale Saturn V kit.  Standing over 7-1/2 feet tall, the kit is bound to turn some heads.

Designed to fly on several different motor configuraitons, the kit can hold a variety of 29mm, 38mm and 54mm motors, including a two motor cluster using AeroTech G80-14 motors. 

Using the smaller 29mm motors, the rocket can be flown with no certification requirement, reaching 250-300 feet — perfect for demonstration flights.

The amount of detail on the kit is astounding!  Cast Resin parts include: a detailed lunar command module with boost protective cover (new and improved version from previous kits), LES rocket tube and five F-1 engine nozzles.  Scale details include ullage rocket fairings, styrene fins, RCS nozzles, main engine F-1 nozzles and styrene corrugation wraps.  Main engine nozzles are solid resin and are for display purposes only.
