I can say that the 2160 Saturn V is far and away the nicest RTF I’ve ever seen, now that I have two in hand. The one I opened is on display on its F-1 nozzles/display base now. Plastic does have its place.

As for 3D printed stuff....it still can be really heavy, but I’m seeing (both here and working with some TARC teams) 3D printed parts which aren’t crazy heavy and which take advantage of this new way of designing/making parts. I’m sure they will keep on getting better and make more sense as flight hardware as time goes on.
