It is in very good condition and has all the parts and instructions. this is a skill level 5 kit and makes a very nice rocket. it uses a cluster of 4 c6-3 engines for launch and 3 paracute recovery. Very cool rocket. I can send more pics to your email address via zip file.

What are you asking for it???

Balsa built up fins?
 

Is there a laser cut balsa for the built up fins available for this kit. I have a Kosroc clone in need of these fins.

Saturn1B fins
 

The KosRox Saturn 1B clone is the same size as the Semroc kit,Carl might have the fin set.
Mark T

Semroc part number is FS-1. I had gotten a set to replace the ones I took out of a kit while we were building the kits for the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 7 flight.

Fin parts
 

I think I'm misunderstood

I wanted to know if Carl@semroc or someone else makes laser cut parts of the fins on the original Uprated Saturn 1B like the kit from 1975 era. I have the solid balsa sheet fins from the Kosroc kit, but I want to spend all the time it took to build them up and fold up the #110 card stock paper fins! All eight of them! Yikes! :eek:

See pics below:

Dan,

Those fins are really not very hard to build. Just make sure you have not been drinking.....
:p

I go my best work...
 

Harold,

The SEMROC FS-1 fin set for the Saturn 1B is the "skin over laser-cut balsa bits" like the original kit. If you have any questions please contact the fine, friendly folks at SEMROC. As I said in my post, I had ordered a second set to replace ones I had to take out of one of the SEMROC Saturn 1B kits.

Well, half right...
 

Had a chance to pull out my left-over parts from the SEMROC Saturn 1B that I had raided. I had ordered replacement parts to make it whole.
For the built up fins you do need the SEMROC FS-1 laser cut balsa set. It has two eighth inch sheets with fins and a 1/16th inch sheet with the balsa parts for the built-up fins. You also need the 1KS-1S shroud set that includes the skins for the built-up fins. I was confused by the on-line instructions since they called out both items each linked to a fin.
I apologize for my earlier insistance that you just needed the one item. It has been a couple of years since the build.

I too have a Kosrox Saturn 1B in storage...somewhere.
