Sven Knudsen is apparently familiar with this kit.  Here are some comments he e-mailed to me:

 

"Howdy Chris,
 
It's different than a snap-tite in that it is designed to be taken apart and put together again like a puzzle.  The parts are also pre-painted (wrongly, in the case of the shuttle orbiter)."

I believe they also did a 1:32 F-14 too. Yup. I was right, Sprue Brothers carries it. I saw one a couple years ago at AirVenture in one of the diecast dealers booth. For those who want a model but don't really have the skills to assemble one from scratch.

 

Even at 1:100 scale...this is going to be a tall model!

I've never heard of these guys or this kit:

Looks like they primarily focus on anatomical models.    Wonder if this "visible" Saturn V is a good kit.  Sure is expensive.
