I was bored this afternoon and started looking at the old unfinished Dr Zoosh Saturn 1 Block II kits. They appear to be 1/144 scale. Anyone know?
Dr Zooch Saturn 1 and 1B so called ant scale.

Semi-scale. Not all parts are to the same scale as the other parts. For example the tower diameter on the 1B is way bigger than scale. But to the naked eye it looks realistic. That's why DZ calls it "ant scale", cuz it's not true scale.

Wes Oleszewski, the original Dr. Zooch, sold his designs to eRockets and retired from the model rocket kit business. eRockets have improved a few of the designs and released new runs of a couple kits. The Lifting Body hasn’t been one of them yet, unfortunately.

SATURN-1 Block data below. Divide, using your body tube diameter to get a Scale Factor.

One never knows how much you miss something until you can't get them anymore. I thought erocket would keep the kits going but it looks like they are just setting on them. I wish there was a place we could post instruction for the different kits we all have with tube measurements and reprints of wrap sheets. I know this would break the copyrights law so I'll move on. Man, I wish I had bought every kit Dr. Zooch put out.
Don't forget the Fliskits SATURN-1B, either . . .

great point! The Fliskits 1b was a really fun kit to build as well. I just wished I got up the nerve to try building one sooner.
