T O P I C R E V I E WRetro RocketI just received a Countdown, Inc. Saturn V with LUT toy model and it's a pretty nifty little piece. I haven't measured yet but does anyone know the scale? 1/400? The LUT has swinging arms, the base has the tread assemblies that pivot so it could roll on an incline, an unusual detail. Does anyone have one of these? apolloprojecktThis one looks from brand Cashulette Engineering, scale 1/290.SpaceDustI bought one probably in the early 1970’s at the KSC Visitor's Center. I noticed there are different roll patterns. Some examples are more in line with the Saturn 500F where as mine is more of the actual flight version. I also noticed that some are missing a swing arm and the pipes going up the side are different. How many different versions were made? Retro RocketThe Countdown, Inc. version was released as a a model kit, it scales out to 1/350. It rolls! I think it's a pretty neat little model. Does anyone else have one or one in the box?RonpurI have one, also made by Cashulette. I think I bought in the 90s, not really sure. I actually found it at a small hobby shop here in Tampa, that is long since gone.dtempleThere were at least two types of patterns on the Saturn V body. I presume the original was the painted on pattern resembling that of 500-F. I have two rocket bodies with the markings closer to that of flown Saturn Vs but they done with stick on decals — not paint.ShobashiI restored one of these toys and made a little model out of it:
