The wraps are a neat idea, but I'd make a pitch for 1/64 scale Saturns.

Why? Well, its a convenient scale for other manned launchers and there's something to be said for a uniform scale presentation. R-7 (BT-55 core) and Shenzhou (ST-20) are easy 24mm-powered in this scale. A Space X Falcon would be BT-70H. Titan and Atlas are ST-18 and Redstone is ST-10.

A Saturn 1b would be ST-10 tubes around an ST-16 core with a BT-101 S-IVb.

Admittedly, a Saturn V is a monstrous 6.185" in diameter at this scale . I'm not a High-Power guy but it would seem doable at this size.

And if you really wanted to go nuts, I seem to recall the old Guillow's Space Shuttle was approximately 1/64 scale but I haven't dug mine out to check.

So what do you think?
