Description
A towering tribute to the golden age of space exploration. This vintage 1:144 scale plastic model kit by Airfix (Art. 09170-5) recreates the mighty Apollo Saturn V, the rocket that carried mankind to the Moon. Standing over 30 inches (76 cm) tall when completed, this "Series 9" kit is a masterpiece of early 1970s engineering. It features authentic detachable stages, a detailed Lunar Module with its own "Moon surface" display base, and the Apollo Command/Service Module. This specific 1973 release is a cornerstone for vintage kit collectors and space enthusiasts alike, capturing the sheer scale of the vehicle that powered the Apollo 11 mission.
This classic Airfix kit is renowned for its impressive physical presence and educational value. The model allows for the separation of the S-IC, S-II, and S-IVB stages, mirroring the actual flight sequence of the Saturn V. Whether you are a dedicated vintage collector or looking to build a piece of aerospace history, this large-scale rocket serves as a commanding centerpiece for any collection dedicated to the NASA Apollo program and the history of the Space Race.
