United StatesSaturn 1B
Very detailed parts, easy to assemble.. it is actually 1/100th scale as advertised, so it is a bit small. Hopefully Boyce will create one for static display 1/72 scale or larger….the 1/100th scale is worth the price….
United StatesStarted a 1/100 th scale space program.
Have not built this model yet, started with Mercury Redstone and progressing through the series. When I am finished will have all the 1/100 th scale series including the Estes 1/100 Saturn V which I already had. Only thing missing is a 1/100 Gemini with Titan. All 3D parts are excellent quality and detail. I have a 3D printer but cannot achieve this level of detail and surface texture. Boyce Aerospace products are my new goto for scale rocket products.
United Statessuperior kit
I have both a Centuri Saturn IB model and an Estes Saturn IB, both are nice models but require a lot of work to get an acceptable model. The Boyce Saturn IB is more accurate, easier to build and presents you with a really superior model. I am slowing buying the entire Boyce Saturn I family. Great kits.
United StatesGreat 3D Printed Parts!
This was a great kit to build. I do think one thing the instructions don't mention is that there are two pairs of different types of antennas, and you should look at a reference picture when glueing those on to make sure it matches where that antenna should be. The one major difficulty I had with this kit were the decals. There were good instructions for them included. The long single piece "United States" decals on the fuel tanks were a breeze, the trouble was with the USA decals. On all four sets of USA decals, only one of the three letters peeled off the backing fully and was able to adhere to the kit. I glued the other letters on and it still looks fine though. Overall Im beyond pleased with this kit, the 3D printed fin can was very sturdy and was a perfect fit for the cardboard tubes! Other parts have an amazing level of detail and needed minimal to no sanding. Excited to take it out for its first flight!
United StatesExcellent kit...well engineered
A great addition to my redstone, atlas and gemini titan scratch builds. An S1B was a bit over my ability for a scratch...this kit fits the bill! Quality decals, good instructions and superb component fits. Only suggestion is on the next version, please supply the correct antenna panel lengths, 2 shorts, 2 longs. Thanks Boyce for a beautiful kit!
