This is a slightly retooled version with a Block II Service Module which
is the correct diameter (the original was much too narrow).

That was nice of them to fix that; does it still have the bulges where the
corrugated sections of the two halves of the stages join? That was the
only real downside of the kit, as there was no easy way to fix it.


I haven't seen one yet but I believe so. Everything from the S-IVB down is
as it was before.

Their Saturn V is in 1/400th scale, not 1/96th, and includes the launch

...And is itself a reissue. I saw this one for sale back in 1996
online, and almost bought one until I saw how small it was. The
website selling it had it listed at 1/200, in scale with the AMT kit,
but a warning on rec.scale.models spared me the mistake.

Speaking of Apollo model kits, here is some info on what could be the
ultimate Lunar Module kit:

Unfortunately, the person responsible for generating CG patterns for parts
recently passed away stalling progress on the LM kit. However, Accurate
Models has recently re-issued the incredibly detailed Saturn V F1 engine
with further upgrades.
