Here is what Alex from Boyce Aerospace said about the weight:
"Here are actual weights if the boilerplate models with out motors but with nose weight:"

SA-5 5.8 oz
SA-7 5.9 oz

I noticed that the 1/100 Scale Saturn 1B in the 1992 Cat. said 5.3 oz

My Saturn's, SA5, SA7 and extra 1/100 Apollo Capsule set is on the way as of Monday. I was able to get in on the first batch of rockets.
Happy I made the cutoff since there will be a delay on when the 2nd batch goes out.

Also have the tubes ready that I ordered from E-Rockets

Got my Saturns today and extra Apollo capsule. Now all I need is the time to build these birds. I’m a little surprised that there isn’t a little more interest over here for these builders kits. Sure makes the job a lot easier than having to build the fin can and transition from scratch. I’m very happy with my kits and can’t hardly wait for the Saturn 1B and Saturn V kits.

Mine were ordered the day they were released. Haven't received a shipping notice yet.

Received my SA-5 kit, and others, a few weeks ago. Finally looking over the parts and testing fit. My BMS BT-70 seems a few mm too small. Some on order from eRockets. We'll see if there's a difference.
