The Estes Saturn 1B was released in 1967. Culminating in over a year of development driven by Chief Illustrator Gene Street, the Saturn 1B was a major work of model rocketry art. Not quite an actual scale model, but a close interpretation that has stood the test of time as one of the giant leaps in the hobby. It was followed by much more faithful scale models over the years, but the Gene Street paper and balsa interpretation transcends the more perfect plastic versions. A true modeler's kit requiring master modeling skills, the Saturn 1B reflects the builder rather than the kit manufacturer. The Estes Saturn 1B was #K-29 and was introduced at a price of $9.95.

The Semroc Retro-Repro Saturn 1B is a faithful re-production of the original. It uses laser-cut balsa fin ribs and smooth finished balsa parts for ease of construction. Heavy embossed wraps are included like the original with a paint-ready glossy surface. A single 32" parachutes is supplied.

Elmer's Glue-all to keep it all together.  Non-toxic and easy to use.

Recovery Wadding, don't send your rocket up without it.
