The giant Saturn V consisted of three main stages, was 110 meters (361 ft) high and weighed 3,000 tons. It could carry a payload of 50 tons and reach a speed of 11.2 km/second (25050 mph). The 394,000 km ( 244,800 mile) journey to the moon took 72 hours. After achieving low Earth Orbit, the upper assembly with the Apollo Capsule received a final push from the third stage rocket thrusters to achieve the speed required for its flight to the moon. Later the Apollo module broke away from the rocket, turned and pulled the Lunar Module from its protective covering. Coupled together like this, the combination eventually reached the Moon and entered Lunar orbit.

Having wanted one since the mid 70s I thought it about time. All the parts are nicely moulded with hardly any flash. Instructions are clear and everything so far (I’m still building) has gone together very well. Review: A few minor fit issues, but an impressive finished model - It is true what a few people have mentioned about a few fit issues, but none of them were of any significant problem. If you are after an absolutely perfect recreation you may require a little filler, but I managed perfectly well without any. The small lunar lander that sits in the payload fairing (but is removable) is a little delicate. It is interesting to see from the markings from the mounds that much of this kit was cast in 1968, meaning it was actually designed before mankind had set foot on the moon, and most of it remains unchanged! A few parts have clearly been retooled, and there were no fit issues on these. The paint scheme is interesting, although not the one used on the Saturn V rockets that flew manned missions to the moon. The design featured in this kit was changed for the manned missions to reduce the amount of surface area painted black, as it was discovered that the black paint was overheating the fuel tanks whilst the rocket waited in the sun. If you want to recreate an manned Saturn V, you can find photographs online. I got this kit on a marketplace deal for less that Β£15 as it didn't have a box, which was a steal. The kit itself was absolutely fine.

Can children play with it without painting it?** A: dear Cathy, this type of model is very fragile and only suitable for display, not for playing. Even without painting it needs to be assembled and glued and contains tiny pieces. I would not recommend it for 6 year olds, better build a model from lego or similar, cheers **Q: What paint colours do i need to order along with this ?** A: White silk Matt, black silk Matt, fern green Matt, steel metallic, anthracite grey Matt, reddish brown Matt gold metallic, and aluminium metallic are what I used. If you wish. For increased accuracy you may also wish to paint and add the three tiny figures provided, in colours of your choice **Q: Can you take apart the cm from the sm?** A: Certainly can **Q: Does this kit come with a Stanley Kubrick figure?** A: No, you have to construct the tinfoil hat yourself, it's not included. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice kit, recommended *by T***R on 1 September 2025* A nice kit.
