I picked one up a while back. The model is an interesting blend of old and new. For example, the tube is not spiral wound, but the fins are laser cut. The box and instructions are dead on to the originals, except that there is a "50th Anniversary Commemorative Kit" logo and a Quest logo on one end of the box and at the top of the instruction sheet. One thing that stands out to me is that the nose cone (at least in my kit) is beautiful. Someone did a great job turning these things. I won't be building mine anytime soon (probably never) since I have a AAA Model Aviation Fuels 29mm Aerobee that pretty much fills that spot in my fleet. Still, it looks great on the shelf...
I hope this helps!
