New Estes SV
 
I see that the new 1:100 scale Saturn V (#1967) is now available.
I wish those long stripe parachutes were available separately!

Any changes other than the box art and the motor mount?

I glanced at the instructions online. It looks like there?s a new template. I dont know if anything else is new.

It better be 29mm like the Skylab version.

At the NARAM-65 Manufacturer's forum, if I remember correctly, Mallory and Ellis Langford (plus John Boren later) mentioned that improvements/corrections were made to the vacuum formed wraps on the new Saturn V. I don't have all the details, but other improvements may have been made in the adapter, service module, capsule areas, as well. Someone else may be able to verify more accurately than I can.

Kind regards,
