Apollo Saturn V, 1/144 - Revell 04909

The Revell Apollo Saturn V model kit 04909 recreates at 1/144 scale the famous launcher from the Apollo program. This American space rocket is offered as an 82-part assembly kit, reaching an announced height of 775 mm once built. The Revell 04909 reference lets you create an impressive Saturn V representation with its launch platform.

The Saturn V, the launcher of the Apollo program

The Saturn V was the rocket that carried out the Apollo lunar missions. Its launch on 16 July 1969 marked the start of Apollo 11 toward the Moon. The launcher consisted of three main stages and transported the entire Apollo spacecraft, including in particular the command module, the service module and the lunar module.

At 1/144 scale, this model makes it possible to depict the characteristic proportions of this large space rocket while keeping a format suitable for display as part of a collection.

Assembly and finishing

Classified level 4 by Revell and recommended from age 12, this model requires careful preparation of the parts, precise gluing and applied painting. Separating the build into sub-assemblies makes it easier to work on the rocket stages, the fairing and the elements of the Apollo module.

Using glue suitable for model kits, fine brushes or an airbrush, as well as a primer, helps achieve a consistent finish. The decals provide the final markings and are best applied to a clean, smooth surface.
