As impressive as the real Saturn rocket system is, viewers of this Space Collection item from Dragon will cause jaws to drop and draw gasps of astonishment! While the model makes use of the Command/Service Module (CSM) and Launch Escape System produced earlier, the rest of this monstrous 1/72 scale rocket comes from brand new toolings. All the relevant detail is carefully reproduced on the three rocket stages, and the completed model comes with accurate painting and markings. The Saturn V is most suitable for display at home as a centerpiece of any space fan’s collection. It comes with a stable circular base to allow it to be freestanding on the floor. This is no miniature model, for it’s absolutely enormous even in 1/72 scale! Indeed, the fully built-up model stands almost 5 feet tall.

WANT.

I assembled the major chunks of APR V3N2 and converted it into a PDF file. While the process turned a few images into gibberish, overall it was error-free. So It’s looking like a 142-page issue. The inside of the back cover is a big blank space… so if anyone wants a full-page, full-color ad and can get it to me on  Wednesday (as in today), it’s yours for $50. If you can get it to me tomorrow… $75.

Overall it looks pretty good to me. I’ve got to stop with the mega-articles, though.
