Saturn V

In the summer of 2001, my Mum's friend went to the U.S. and she unexpectedly bought me back a limited edition Saturn V. The one to commemorate the 30th anniversary. This is a very rare kit with only about 1000 having being produced. I started work as soon as I could, but I ended up taking a good 3 months to build it.

 Launch:

A very disappointing launch, got to about 30 ft (10m) stopped burning, crashed on to the ground, and then ejected about 3 seconds later getting mud and grass all over the rocket.

seconds later, the rocket

stopped and basically crashed,

Next launch will be on an

E15-4W which should get it

up higher.
