Saturn V Skylab Now With Apollo 11 Upper Stage?

[jackiboi_11]

I just noticed that Estes has the Saturn V Skylab come with the Apollo upper stage. Is this true?

 

[Rob Campbell]

Yes. Skylab was made from an S-IVB third stage from the Saturn V.

The Estes website doesn't say anything about both being included.
I seem to remember at the NARAM before its' release there was talk about both an Apollo and a Skylab upper section being included in one kit (the display box at the convention showed both), but when it was released only the Skylab portion was included.
So where did you see that both are now included?

I think that is a pre-production picture.
If you scroll down to the actual parts layout there is no apollo upper section.
And here is a pic of the box I received.


But you may want to let Estes customer service know so that others won't get confused in the future.
