Having enjoyed Dr. Zooch's Vostok rocket so much I decided to build my second Saturn V using his kit. The first Saturn V kit I built was the Estes 1/100 scale that currently hangs in my office, never to be flown (unless I build a better one of that scale someday). But this Zooch Saturn V will most certainly be flown, hopefully several times!
The Saturn V has always been my favorite rocket, even before getting into this hobby. I've read volumes on it and have visited the left over pieces that used to lay on their side outside at the Huntsville Space Center several times. I don't know why it took me so long to get into building these.
I ordered this kit (and a Freedom 7) a couple of months ago from the Ant and it's been sitting on a shelf taunting me, daring me to get started, but I needed to get a few other things finished first. But I finally opened the box, ate the free yogurt, and got started on the build after a brief few days in the hospital.
Before starting this build I searched and found multiple build threads for this kit on these forums, but I've had so much fun with previous build threads that I wanted to do another anyway. I hope that nobody minds if I add one more to the list. I promise to use lots of pictures since that's what I like to see in build threads. As always, feel free to comment, give advice, heckle, point out my mistakes, and share your experiences with this kit.
