It occurs how silly the 96 scale Monogram (or Airfix) Saturn 5 96th scale rocket looks, displayed without it's Launch Umbilical Tower. In reality... the Saturn V rocket existed on its Mobile Launcher Platform for the entirety of its tenure on the planet... having been constructed upon it. Indeed, it existed in flight wholly, for a matter of only 3 or so minutes on its flight to the Moon. You can get away with Gemini, Mercury, even Constellation... But, this rocket's just got to have a tower next to it.

So, it is! An excellent display accouterment for your plastic model launch vehicle.

Interesting to note that the Revell model, still in production, is actually based on early NASA Saturn V designs and the 500-F test vehicle, which was never intended to fly. It is now housed at Kennedy Space Center's museum.

Assembling this piece might seem daunting, but it is really only a matt...
