Model Kit, Rocket, Saturn V, 1:144
Object Details
- Summary
- This unassembled plastic model kit, made by Monogram Models and copyrighted 1968, is and still sealed in plastic. It allowed its purchaser to create a scale model of an Apollo Saturn V launch vehicle (1:144 scale) using the enclosed plastic pieces and instructions. The model's packaging emphasized the realistic nature of the toy, including the fact that all stage of the non-flying rocket model could separate. The artist's conception on the box cover of a Saturn V rocket during stage separation above the Earth was intended to fire the purchaser's imagination about the rocket depicted in the kit.
- Rocket model collector G. Harry Stine donated this model to the National Collections in 1973.
