Author	Topic: Mastercraft 1:72 Apollo Saturn IB rocket
GACspaceguy Member Posts: 2532 From: Guyton, GA Registered: Jan 2006	posted 12-21-2015 05:26 PM I was contacted by Ed Humpherys with Mastercraft Models about a 1:72 Saturn IB. He had a customer special order one so he made five. I picked up one to go with Dragon's Saturn V in the same scale. Ed has told me he would let the others go for $250 plus shipping (for me it was around $40), so if anyone is interested, e-mail me and I will get you in contact with Ed. The model is good for the price, as it is a wood/resin type and is very stout. The CSM RCS quads are too big and the BPC lacks detail but I bet you good modeling folks could smash the Dragon Apollo SLA/CSM/BPC/LES into the section of the SLA where the split occurs. Take a look at the photos attached. I like it but I am happy with contractor models that typically lack details.
