Estes Satrun V
Had one of these back in the 70s and just ordered the 2157 kit. The prices of these are going out of site so I figured if I wanted one better get it now. Paid just over $80 shipped for it.

That is not as bad as when they did limited run under the previous owners. Over $100 pop. I don't have my old catalogs in front of me but I am thinking it was 2008 or 2009 for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.

After my terrible experience with E Rockets and the lying Randy (have emails to prove it) I found another place to get the Estes Saturn V. It did cost about $5 more but $85 which includes shipping is not bad as many are trying to get $99 to $150 PLUS shipping. Mine arrived yesterday.
Do to a big launch sponsored by SOAR on the 28th and 29th of this month I will not get time to do much with it but I
have it and it is not going any where.

What is in the box. I wish more things had made in USA. I do not think any of the rockets not made by Estes is USA made please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks

There are a lot of smaller Made in USA rocket manufacturers. Semroc, Flis kits, Custom just to name few. The Apogee plastic fin rocket kit (I forgot it's name) is Made in USA s I sold them the fin can mold for that kit. I used it in the Starlight Minute Man kit.

Thank you and I know just about all the launch-able Saturn's on the market. If I ever get the extra money which in my situation could be never I really want a Apogee 1/70 but more then likely will not happen. The Saturn V is my favorite rocket.
Thanks

Dave at Sirus (Spelling?) rockets makes a great Saturn V and Dave at Red Arrow bought out Sherrys hot rockets and has updated the kits and is producing them. True they cost a bit more then Estes's but they also handle H motors.
