Well Boys and Girls,this is one heck of a story. I wasn't going to go to work today,but I did and one of my customers told me about a hobby shop that I never heard of that had rockets,and the rest is history...Centuri Apollo Saturn 1B No.2139 and an Estes Master's Series Space Shuttle! The main body tube of the Saturn is flattened and the plastic thingy is broken,otherwise I think it's all there and the bags are unopened. The Shuttle is sealed. Pretty cool eh?

Good find!

Are you going to build them? I'd at least build the Saturn since you have the bad tube.

I used to have my old Centuri Saturn 1B and V boxes hanging on the wall for decoration. I wonder if they are still at my parents after all these years.

Very, very cool. The Saturn 1b is very rare.

Can you PLEASE scan in all the stuff from the Saturn 1b? Especially the silver service module wrap? Actually everything is much needed.

Again a very nice find.

Well, I suppose someone may try to pry these away from me and I don't know if the tube is replaceable,maybe it's easily fixed but I don't have any plans to build them. They would make seriously impressive display models though...

Hey,cool avatar Kurtschachner and thanks. Is this wrap the chrome silver one that you refer to? Whatever I do the bags will remain sealed for now though, I'm still basking in my glory.

Rustee,

Great find!

Just found that BT-100Z is not the same Estes 30436 in the Saturn 1B!

But only if you build it!

Just kidding. It's yours to enjoy.

Yes, it is that wrap.

No, I see a verrry small tear in that bag already. I can't believe you missed it.

Oh well, since it is already torn then you can open it the rest of the way to scan everything

No it is not. This is the same (more or less) as the later Estes 1/100 scale Saturn 1b, which is like the Centuri 1/100 scale Saturn 1b, which is what Rustee has

Do you mean the top of one bag that came away? The thermal seal is unbroken however,I did notice that of course. The other one is in perfect condition. Darn.
