Got a small box today, with a teeny box inside, and inside of that, is the Semroc Saturn 1B!!!
I'm at work now, so I can't give an extensive report, but it looks great! Pretty much just like the Estes IB I built 30 years ago, but with some obvious improvements like the laser cut parts, and MUCH better embossed paper wraps!
Some of you might wonder about the engine mount. It is NOT convertable (though the instructions invite you to do it if you think you can). You build it either for four C motors, or one D.
As Carl has already mentioned somewhere, you can build up the fins (as in the Estes kit) or you can use 1/8" balsa fins provided.
I'm going to build this model fast, so I'll probably use the 1/8" fins, and use the included built up fins to replace the missing and broken ones on my Estes bird. I'll stick with the four engine cluster too.
MODERATORS: I put this under Vendors since it is sort of a review/preview. Feel free to put this somewhere else.
