Default Saturn 1B with 2 motor cluster

I remember a kit from my youth, and I'm wondering which company/model it was.

I picked it up about 1981 on the clearance table at the Cape Kennedy gift shop. [I was there again last month - no model rockets to be found :-( ] My memory is that it came in a cardboard box - blue white and black?. Vacuum form fins and shrouds. A bit over 2 feet tall. (I was 11 - it was a long time ago). The build was a -lot- like the Centuri instructions posted to YORP- but I distinctly recall that it was a 2 motor cluster with C6s recommended. I recall a flight where one motor started late and the model ended up in cruise missile mode. And a second flight where I got antsy and flew on Bs - really low.

So any ideas what kit it might have been?
