Saturn V Skylab (EST1973)

The Saturn V Skylab Model Rocket Kit is a fascinating tribute to the final Saturn V launch in 1973, which carried Skylab, America's first space station. With this kit, modelers can construct and fly their own 1/100 scale replica of this historic mission. Experience the thrill of launching this impressive model to heights of up to 350 feet using an Estes F15-4 engine, complemented by stunning three-parachute recoveries.

Between 1967 and 1973, NASA launched 13 Saturn V rockets, with the last mission being significantly historic as it deployed Skylab into Earth's orbit. Skylab, designed as a modular space station life habitat, hosted multiple crews for extended missions. In an effort to repurpose Apollo hardware for continued exploration, Skylab emerged, greatly contributing to manned spaceflight history. However, after a series of successful missions, unforeseen orbital decay led to its re-entry in 1979, scattering debris over Western Australia.

This model rocket kit is a meticulously crafted 1:100 scale reproduction, featuring vacuum-formed tube wraps and fin fairings for enhanced realism. The durable and detailed injection-molded fins come with a fin alignment guide, ensuring precision during assembly. Authentic water-slide decals replicate the markings of the actual historic mission, providing additional authenticity to your model. Prepare for an exciting launch experience as you detach the realistic engine nozzle assembly and ready the rocket for flight. Experience awe-inspiring launches and complex recoveries with this engaging model that's sure to impress any rocket enthusiast.
