Sat V question for Carl @ Semroc

gary7 said:

I just looked at the Semroc site and it still lists a price for the Saturn V of only $50. But the 1B is $70. Why the big difference? Does that tell us to expect less with the Saturn V?

I can not believe the tubes and wraps make that much of a difference and in a way, expected the Saturn V to actually cost more.

There are a lot more parts in a Saturn 1B kit than a Saturn V.

True.

BTW, Semroc can't release this kit until tbzep builds his own version from scratch. That's just the way it works. You all should really be hounding HIM and not Carl!

I do have some BT-101 laying around.

I can send you most of the other parts!

Thanks for the very kind comments.

The Saturn V does have less parts, but the $50 is a one batch price, as promised. After the first 200 or so, the price will go up. I don't know what the final price will be, but I am guessing around $60.
