The hoped-for release dates before Christmas were too optimistic. (That is the way you say it won't happen.) There have been far too many minor design decisions and so much of the early Estes parts did not fit exactly. Our Retro-Repro is going to be as faithful as possible, but also should be a little better. It has to be right before it ships.

We are having so much fun with these kits. The wraps, the tubes, shrouds, balsa turnings, all of it is so exciting to us! I never built one when it was released. It is a skill level 5 for patient modelers. The introductory price of $45.00 should help get a lot of more Saturn 1B's in the air at launches.

We have never taken pre-orders, but we are getting a list started to reserve early production numbers. We don't have a formal system, but send us an email at reserve@semroc.com if you want us to set one aside for you.

Carl,
Thanks a ton for the update !
I can tell my wife she does not need to keep checking the website !
I am going to send you an email to put me on the "reserve" list.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

Parts will be coming online as they are received.

Plans (subject to change) are for:
KS-1 Saturn 1B 1/70 (based on Estes K-29)
KS-2 Apollo Capsule 1/70 (based on Estes NCK-29)
KS-3 Little Joe II 1/70 (based on Estes K-30)
in time for Christmas.


I was hoping maybe too much for this as a X-Mas gift from the wife.

Ah, yes. I forgot about that thread. I know that one of the hard parts is putting documentation together for the kits. That may be one of the holdups.
