The kit comes pre painted and easy to assemble. Standing slightly smaller than the 1/96 Revell Saturn V it still makes for an impressive display piece being able to “see into” the various stage components. There are various inaccuracies likely visible to the space hobbyist such as the tank colors, “batting” on the main engines, and lack of detail on the boost protect cover. I found Shape-ways offers some replacement/upgrade parts that I intend to purchase The instructions include some historical information on the Saturn v and are easy to follow. This made great addition to my collection and I found my copy at a great price on eBay!

This is a big, really big (a little over a metre) model with cutaway sections to enable viewing the interior details. Sadly, it’s out of production so is rather hard to find, but for the lover of models connected with the space race, this is well worth tracking down. It’s pre-painted, though a true enthusiast may want to tidy up some of the slightly untidy detailing. Being a large scale, it’s also easier for the less nimble-fingered among us to handle the parts. I’m very glad I found this. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you were thinking of buying the Dragon 1:72 or Revell 1:96 Saturn V models, perhaps consider this model instead. It's much more accurate although not perfect, it's prepainted, and it assembles within a couple of hours mostly without needing any glue. Fine detail is lacking (for example on the S-1C first stage, the hold downs, internal fairing struts, gimbal actuators, and umbilical panels are missing) and there is a slight orientation error between the S-II and S-IVB stages. However, the errors are nothing like as noticeable as those in the other models that I mentioned and it makes an impressive display piece or an excellent educational item as it shows the(somewhat simplified) innards of the monster rocket that took Man to the Moon. It's a tad expensive though, especially if you import it.Read full review
