Yeah, it's not my normal fare. I only bought it because it was real cheap.
Rob,
Selling might be a consideration if you're not that keen on space subjects.
With so many out of production, they're going for premium prices at the moment. If Airfix releases these kits again (as I think they're going to), the prices may moderate a bit.

Seriously? I need to look into that based on even getting half that. I bought it because it was on clearance in a store that normally does not carry model kits.
Rob Gronovius Years ago, probably the late 90s, I got an Airfix Saturn rocket, Smithsonian edition, I never got around to building it. I need to dig it out. I think it was like $5 back in the day.

GregI wonder how many of us remember building those kits. I remember the big 'ol Saturn V.
Yeah, I remember those kits. My parents got me every single one. I also had all the magazines, posters, books, etc. If it was space related I had it or wanted it bad enough to save my allowance for it. I vivid remember that Saturn V. I was dog gone proud when I got the doors on the third stage to work and the legs on the LEM to articulate. Played with it for weeks on end. I was only nine at the time.

I remember the clear display Apollo capsule I had. It was a neat kit.
Apparently Revell has released the 50th anniversary kits. With astronomical prices!

Not the kits I was hoping for, however.
PS> Luckily I've got these kits from 50 years ago when they were cheaper!
Tojo7250 years,seems just like yesterday, definitly one of those remember where you were events.
I was scrolling down to type basically the same thing.
50 years.
Kind of scary.
Dad and I built a big lunar module out of sheet metal for a science fair. Back then (it was still in the design stage) NASA called it the lunar excursion module. Thing must have stood 4' high. Man, I wish I had some pictures.

Ben> I don't think they're releasing the Monogram version, only the simpler Revell ones.
You can check Scalemates for information. It appears the release dates are still "future".

Do you know if the 1/48 will have a moon based, like the one I built?
If so, I may get another to build....

Some news concerning Revell and their spacecraft models. While browsing Scalemates looking for some information on the kit I am building (paint suggestions), I found that Revell is planning on releasing some of their old kits for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
They include:
1/32nd scale Apollo CM/SM
1/48th scale Apollo CM/SM/LM
1/48th scale Apollo CM/SM/LM Top of S-IVB (the kit I am working on in the Group Build)
1/96th scale Apollo CM/SM/LM
1/96th scale Saturn V
No details on release date or pricing yet. Just have to wait and see.
