Daron Mastercraft Collection Saturn V with Apollo model Scale: 1/200, White

This model is stunning, with a nice stand, and well worth the price (note: I paid $146 shipped) for interested parties in the Apollo spacecraft.Get the photograph: "New 5x7 Photo: Wernher von Braun with Engines of Saturn V," which gives you a perspective of the huge size of the Saturn V rocket.Also, the book "Apollo The Race to the Moon," Charles Murray and Catherine Bly Cox, has an amazing picture of the Saturn V with the caption:"'Nope, there's no scale.' This may help: On the road beside the crawler is a large fire truck- almost too small to be picked up in this enlargement. The laun ch vehicle is the first Saturn V, A.S. -501, on its way from the V.A.B. to Pad 39." no page numbers. This book also has the picture of von Braun next to the business end of one of the F-1 engines mentioned above.

This is a beautiful mahogany replica of the Saturn V Moon Rocket. Great for display and for educating. A wonderful piece, and well finished with good detail. It captures the excitement of the Manned Space Program, and NASA's "can do" mantra, which, despite budget cuts, is alive today. Only wish it had been available in the larger 1:100 scale.Still, very, very impressive! Would recommend to any collector, educator or space travel enthusiast!

OUTSTANDING MODEL, GREAT SIZE FOR DESK, MANTLE, TABLE DISPLAY, NOT A TOY, NO MOVING PARTS,BUT AUTHENIC SCALE AND DETAIL ON EXTERIOR, AND THE FINISH IS EXQUISITE. VERY PLEASED WITH PURCHASSE

This is a wooden 1/200 scale model of the Saturn V rocket as used in the Apollo moon landings.Perhaps with it being single wood piece it is not detailed as much as the dragon die cast models but still a good representation of the actual rocket.It comes in excellent packaging so that it is very hard to damage in any way during shipping and sits proudly as a showpiece with it being quite large in size.The only downside to this is the detailing. The sides are smooth wood with painting so it doesn't have the corrogations down the side on parts of the rocket that the real Saturn V did.If you are a space buff, especially if you like the apollo era missions then this is definately recommended. One of the largest scale models of the Saturn V you will find.

I purchased this for my husband for Christmas, as he really wanted one. The model came in very protective packaging with soft spongy foam to protect it in a pristine manner. Needless to say, my husband LOVED it. There are to parts which make for easy assembly and display. We are very pleased with the item that came from a company that seems to care about their product and fast customer service.

A lot of folks are unsure why some models apparently should cost over $100; suffice to say that high-quality items are found in space memorabilia; i.e., these aren't made out of some polystyrene kit that is put together w/ airplane glue. I've seen more-detailed Saturn V models (that cost more), but this one is is a good value. It's interesting to compare this 1/200 scale item to a 1/200 scale model of the Space Shuttle side-by-side, because it validates that the Saturn V was seven feet shy of being twice as tall.

Really love this Saturn V. The details are excellent.

I present regular talks about astronomy and space related subjects to a mixture of audiences and purchased this model to help to illustrate my talks about the Apollo missions. Because it is made from solid wood, it has a smooth surface finish as indicated by other reviewers and so it not as detailed as other possible choices, however, it is also considerably cheaper than the more expensived alternatives. If you are showing it to younger audiences, I would be very careful to supervise them as I think it would be quite easily damaged, particularly the top part of the rocket and the fins at the bottom. Overall though, it is quite impressive and everyone loves to see it.
