Product Description

Editorial Review

While this model will take a lot of focused, patient work to build, the rewards will be spectacular. Over 3 feet high when complete, and fashioned from 934 individual plastic pieces, this handsome replica of the Saturn V rocket--the one that launched the Apollo spacecraft into orbit--has three separating stages and a mini-Apollo craft at the top. There are two major structures: a launch tower and the rocket itself. Each individual part is color coded and snaps easily together with the others. The set comes with a rocket sound module that generates an amazingly real-sounding countdown sequence, as well as flashy NASA decals and an easy-to-follow instruction book. The set also builds the Ariane 5 rocket used to launch about half of the world's commercial satellites into orbit. Batteries included. --Marianne Painter

This review is from: K'nex Saturn V Rocket (Toy)

I had lots of fun building this toy. What's great is that it looks so much like the real Apollo 11/Saturn V rocket. The stage separations are cool and the whole thing looks great on display (visit a Toys R' Us and see the display for yourself!). The launch tower is neat because the 3 bridges fold up at the same time when you push a lever. The 2nd model you build (the French Ariane 5) rocket looks cool too! It also has a satellite it can carry to space.

The Saturn V Rocket is awesome! My dad and I just finished it. It's the biggest K'nex model that I have built yet. It's almost as big as me. We got the rocket finished in one day and the laucher in three days. You should buy this model. It is really cool!
