I bought the 3-piece 1/400 Saturn V model from Dragon Models:

S-IVb

S-II

S-Ic
http://www.dragonusaonline.com/item_...Code=CAN20058E

Reasonably good scale & detail--but it's got the same 500F Facilities
Integration Vehicle paint job on the S-Ic that everyone else does.


The 1/100 cutaway one shown on this page would be fun to have:

That cutaway Shuttle has me salivating as to the super-detailing
possibilities you could do on it.


Yeah, I wants one. I keep waiting to see whether they've put up a price
tag on the thing yet. IIRC the shuttle was around $150?

I forget the specifics, but yeah, it was steep.
The price of all imported models has gone right through the roof,
particularly those from Japan.
