I'm looking for Accurate Models' Apollo Saturn V rocket 1/20 F-1 engine. I tried to contact a supplier but I doubt they have one, eBay is all sold out and I'm in search for this kit. Anyone have one or know where I can definitely get one? |

This is still listed at the Custom Replicas website. I bought one there a couple months ago. |

I had emailed them before posting. I went to their site and it looked like it was updated, no contact phone and the address showed an apartment. Thought the site was dead but then they got a hold of me, followed by payment, bought one.  |

Stephen Nichols (cS: history in miniature) is one of the premiere modelers on this website. He and Pascal Hecker are two I would recommend wholeheartedly if you want a professional build on any model you can conceive. |

I can furnish the e-mail address for Jim Key, of Accurate Models. He sells the kit and also within the month has offered a completed kit, the original prototype, Number 1, with a COA. E-mail me if interested. — Ron |

Accurate models wanted a lot of funds to send me a done up piece, what does Steven charge for this model? |

I would say that list is incomplete without the addition of Michael Key as one of the premiere builders… as well as the CAD designer of many of the 3D builds that are displayed on cS from various builders, he is a truly talented artist in his own right. Very easy to work with and produces nothing but museum quality displays. |

I agree about Mr. Keys. I did not mean to imply the list was exclusive. I just have personal experience with the two listed. Attempting to build has only enhanced my opinion of what these guys do. |

Just today got my F-1 from Stephen Nichols. This thing is so beautiful. Yeah, its a pretty significant investment... but it is worth every penny and then some. I will post pictures soon. |
