One of the more interesting model kits to be released in recent years was the “Famemaster” 1/100 scale model of the Saturn V. It was interesting not only because it was big, but because it was a cutaway model showing the innards of the tanks on all three stages. Assembled well, modified somewhat and properly painted, it can build up into a damn fine museum piece.

The two biggest problems with the Famemaster Saturn V were that it was expensive, and that it was not released in large numbers. A single production run a couple years back quickly vanished. At long last, though, it’s back. A number of online source have it for $300 or more, but Amazon has it for $250. It probably won’t be around all that long this time, either.

So, if’n yer interested, buy now. Feel free to use the link below…

  1. Did you buy the SV?

    • Earlier this year I stumbled across one in a hobby shop, and had little choice but to break down and buy it.

  2. Got any pictures? Have seen the box, never seen the kit built.

    • I’ve not seen the kit built either. My own kit is currently patiently awaiting the day when I can build models for relaxation, rather than devoting every last effort to a desperate attempt at making a nickel.

  3. Looks like Dragon might make a 1/72 SV, lets hope its accurate
