I'm of the opinion that all the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo/Space Shuttle scale kits should be brought back permanently....as well as the Nike Ajax and Pershing 1A.
Could care less if we ever get another V2 or Nike Smoke ever again.
About 20 years ago Estes displayed a huge 1/46 Saturn 1B that was about 7.5" in diameter that they were hinting at kitting. THAT one should be offered for G thru I power.



If you want large diameter and HPR you should take a look at the Sirius Saturn V https://www.siriusrocketry.biz/isho...saturn-v-5.html

Specifications:
1:64.59 Scale
Diameter: 6.13 inches
Length (with display nozzles):
67.4 inches (Over 5-1/2 feet tall!)
Recommended Motor: Aertotech RMS I-284

Dave's kits are all you could hope for. The level of detail and accuracy to scale is a builder's dream and his instructions are like reading a good book. He's got kits that transition from mid to high power too.
