Enamored with the original Revell 1/96 Saturn V kit that stands almost 4 feet tall since a kid, I thought how great it would be for Revell to release it for the new SLS/Orion rocket. A kit this size will most likely never be made...........so I decided to make one myself. Let me start off by saying, I am not a master modeler or craftsman, so if you are looking for a "Smithsonian Made" kit, this is not for you. I had to take some liberties, but I still think this came out as a very impr...essive version for a space enthusiast's office or man cave (see mine in last photo). Please note, you are bidding on the one SLS rocket pictured in main listing photo (I included my original Saturn V rocket in photo to show the comparison). I recently sold a Block IB crewed version to a local Hobby Store for their display case. I have now completed the family of SLS rockets NASA plans to make as you can see in the photos attached.
Using the original Revell 1/96 kit, plus adding in the boosters from the Monogram 1/72 Space Shuttle and adding in a 3D printed Orion capsule and LES, this one of a kind 4 ft model of the SLS/Orion rocket makes for a nice representation of NASA's new heavy lift Space Launch System. As seen in the pictures, the original launch platform was also used. The last photo is from my collection, the glass case and the Launch Tower backdrop is not included but shows how you can display the finished model.
I have made a few of these, completing the SLS family of rockets planned by NASA, but have found an interest from others so my "hobbying" does continue. The shipping costs derive from an issue with the fact that in the past,
I have had to craft a box for the dimensions....however, the carriers DO NOT insure any package unless the box meets their requirements, so I am having to have UPS pack the model which drives up these costs. Please note, the $50 does NOT cover all of the cost, just helps defray some....sorry, but I would rather make sure it arrives safe and sound.
PayPal only and shipping to the continental USA only simply due to the size of the box. To clarify, this auction is for the one SLS Orion rocket (photo 1) as other models seen in attached photos is for representation. Email me with any questions and I will do the best I can to answer. No international sales.
