United StatesGreat product , great service !
Excellent detail and realism -perfect to go with my Estes 1/100 scale Saturn V and 1B !
United StatesHighly Detailed KIt
I am impressed with the quality and details of this model. The 1/100 scale really puts the size of this into perspective when compared to its successors. I made a change. Instead of using the paperclip for the launch lug, I used 0.025 music wire. I "borrowed" my wife's jewelry pliers to form the lugs. I also used a Sharpie to "paint" the fins. The wrap went on fine. I added a 1/16" matte black pin stripe to the body tube bottom. I am not sure if it will be launched or remain a "shelf queen". This was a fun build.

Amazingly detailed. The body wrap makes finishing quick and easy. If you're trying to build a 1/100 scale set of manned rockets, this is your redstone.

United StatesWow, what an impressive kit!
This was my first Boyce Aerospace kit. I was amazed at the detail. You can tell (if you use a magnifying glass or microscope) that the capsule and fin can are 3D printed, but the resolution is so fine that I won’t even need to sand the capsule, and the fin can will need just the minimum. The way the motor mount goes together is ingenious. I’m very impressed and will eventually be getting the 1/100 Mercury Atlas and the 1/100 Saturn 1B. The Gemini Titan builders kit will be mine too someday! Love this company.
