Durable 1:100 Apollo Launch Escape Tower Lattice

I spent a half hour this morning trying to find a post a fella made yesterday where he was looking for a replacement tower for a 1/100 scale Saturn V. Never did find it

In any event... in the March/April 2023 Sport Rocketry magazine is an advertisement from Galactic Manufacturing. For $7.99... seems like a good deal.

Durable 1:100 Apollo Launch Escape Tower Lattice​

"This is a one piece 3D printed Apollo LES Tower Lattice. It is compatible with all Estes 1:100 Apollo model kits. It is printed in one solid piece using resin, and then cured with heat and UV light. When completely cured, the material has mechanical properties similar to PVC. It is the most durable non-metallic replacement for this part currently available."​

This is the tower that James Duffy recommended when he did the Saturn build at 2022 vNARCON.
