Dunno, but just added it to my list for next order on the site.

Curses ! Still no Athena available yet, but the decals and directions are now.

I'm also waiting for the Athena, and I'd really like to have the Saturn V..........

I thought for CERTAIN we would see a Semroc Saturn V around X-mas LAST year, but now I'm not so sure we will even see it before the Estes release supposedly in August.
I hope that kit is not causing the Semroc kit to become VAPORWARE !

I just wish their (Semroc's) definition of "Coming Soon" was a LOT closer to what MY definition of "Soon" is !!!

Hey gang,

I think Carl and Sheryl and the gang do so much for the hobby that we take them for granted, A few (several) years ago I spoke to an employee of Quest that told me "Semroc will never be a major player in the hobby"....I'm sure the sales are a drop in the bucket compared to the two big boys...but to us old rocket men..it feels like gold!

RM

PS I have started more than one young modeler on a Semroc beginners kit...the Rawhide and Hawk kits are a sturdy choice!

Excellent! My original is still sitting around here somewhere, still only 75% finished since the early 70's.

Carl, do you need original decals to scan for your repro?

Which decal do you have? There were at least four versions of the Egg Crate. I am trying to get it as close to the 1971 catalog version as possible.

I'll attempt to dig out the box that has all my old half-finished builds in it this weekend. The decal was in there last from what I remember.

I'd like to compare it to what I have drawn up.
