Model Forum / General / Rockets / January 2006Saturn 1B
The cover of Sport Rocketry got me wanting a Sat1B all over again. Did anyone hear what happened to the rumored Estes 1/70 Sat1B? I'm thinking that it turned out to be vaporware. Can anyone confirm? I have an unfinished 1/100 SatV. How hard would it be to bash it to a Sat1B?

Semroc will have an Estes clone of the 1/70th 1b coming out soon. SignatureScott D.

Ah, well if you're interested in current production kits... 8) http://www.apogeerockets.com/Saturn_1B.asp http://klydemart.com/rockets.html The 1/100 at http://neubauerrockets.com/store/page2.html is out of stock. Maybe if we all send email... 8) > Thanks, Scott. Any idea how soon? SignatureWill Marchant, NAR 13356, Tripoli 10125 L3 kc6rol@amsat.org http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/will/ > Thanks, Scott. Any idea how soon? That I honestly don't know. From what I've read the closest I could say is sometime this year. ;-) They're also cloning the Mars Lander and the Little Joe II. My advice on an Estes 1/70th re-release, don't hold your breath. SignatureScott D.

You meant to say: a Semroc clone of the Estes 1/70th 1B Estes doesn't make clones of their own kits (reproductions are not clones). As for Semroc kits: if you own the licensing rights, is it really a clone? As for Saturn 1B's: I'm also pretty sure that the likeness' of the Saturn Launch Vehicles are public domain anyway. And while we're on the subject of clones, somebody (I forget who) is offering an "upscaled clone" of a kit (I forget which). That's an oxymoron, isn't it? It has to be either an "upscale" model or a "clone" model. A clone is basically a virtualy identical recreation of a production model. Once you've changed the dimensions (upscaling), it can no longer be a "clone" because if you put the "upsacle" next to the original production model, I'm pretty sure, you would be able to tell which is the original.
