Default Semroc KS1 - Saturn 1B

Many have considered the Saturn 1B as the best looking real world rocket of all time. This model of the 1B was produced by Semroc and, as such, was one of the best! Sadly, it is out or production but I have one and the box has never even been opened. This is a "Craftsman" level kit and not for beginners. it flies on either a 24mm motor or a cluster of 4x18mm and recovers by parachute. It is new and unopened.

I am asking $250

This kit is offered for sale in an effort to liquidate my collection of kits and is being offered via cross postings on The Rocketry Forum and Ye Olde Rocket Forum. The price indicated is what I have determined by looking for evidence of similar sales but, admittedly, might reflect a poor judgement on my part. I'm just doing the best that I can. The price does NOT include shipping. Interested persons are invited to contact me via PM and I will calculate the shipping. Payment is expected by means of PayPal, Zelle or Venmo. My intention is to make shipments twice per week after confirming receipt of funds. I will try to give the most accurate descriptions I am able to provide and will happily answer any specific questions either by PM or within the post thread.

I'm trying to be fair and honor a "first come, first serve" precedence when dealing with inquiries. That involves juggling messages I see while at work at the hospital coming from both TRF and YORF. That started out easy but got more complicated as there were more and more rockets listed. I made some mistakes and for that I am sorry.

I also don't mind holding rockets as you wait for more to become available. This does help with shipping costs and nobody has been more horrified than I over the current postal rates. That said, I am going to have to change one thing. I am only going to set aside "sold" rockets. I tried it the other way and a few times I was left in the lurch when others were interested in a rocket. That was only a mild annoyance. What I cannot tolerate is the mistakes that I made in selling something that had been promised. With my faulty memory and hectic schedule, the only way to prevent this when so many rockets are up for sale (with hundreds more to come) is to strictly segregate the sold stuff from the unsold stuff. A hold with an intent to buy now gets 24 hours, barring exigent circumstances, after that, it's back on the market.

I used to tell Mom, "...I want to fly rockets when I grow up!"

Last I checked, Jerry Irvine still had these kits available through U.S. Rockets.
Gonna be a tough sell for $250

This was an extremely satisfying build. I bought mine directly from Carl at iHobby, they had recently released it. That was a good show, Semroc, Fliskits, Aerotech, and BMS were all there. Sadly, the capsule drifted away, and I wasn't motivated to build another, so now it has the Apogee capsule.

Last one sold at auction for $240.
