Boyce Aerospace new 1/100 Saturn 1b coming very soon!!!
New “Builders Kit” Release…
Saturn 1B 1/100th scale Introductory Price $70.00 + $12.00 Shipping In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing, Boyce Aerospace Hobbies is launching our new Saturn 1B Builders Kit. This kit is a redesign of our original all plastic 1/100th Saturn 1B and now utilizes modeler-supplied BT-19 paper tubes for the first stage tanks. The new Saturn 1B Kit includes 27 highly-detailed 3D-printed parts that pair with BT-19 paper tubes (supplied by the modeler) for a unique design that allows for easier, more precise painting. Plus, the Boyce Aerospace Hobbies Saturn 1B kit now includes decals for an even more professional finished model. The new Saturn 1B kit measures 27 inches long with a fin span of 4.88 inches. Once assembled, this kit weighs 8 ounces without a motor. |

What are BT-19 and where do you get them? If is the only part not included in the kit, why not supply them? It's just one tube size. How much space can that take up.
Professional storer of tubes. |

100% agree with Jerry on this.
Make the kit complete.

At the least, they need to post the LENGTHS of tube needed, too. Not just the size. That way, if they are not going to offer a complete kit, one can order the tubes and have them cut to proper length by the time the 'short kit' of their's arrives.
If those specs are on their web site, I missed them. Earl

E-Rockets have the tubes, BT19 which are .70" in dia. or you could say the right scale for 1/100 scale Saturn 1B. My Saturn 1 SA5 and SA7 tubes are cut to 201mm and you need 8 at that length. I'll check and post the length later.
The bt50 should be 235mm long. The BT19 tubes need to be 194mm long, so shorter than the Saturn 1s Got mine on order Last edited by Flash : 06-01-2019 at 05:37 PM. |

Thought mine was going to be here today but the USPS sent it to a near by city office first which makes no sense. Hopefully I get it tomorrow.
