I made a point of asking about the 1st/2nd stage wraps at the Estes tent - and they confirmed they'd fixed them on this one. The price went up a bit but it's probably worth it.
I was seriously disappointed that they messed them up on the last Apollo Saturn V (enough so that when I discovered they were fixed for the Skylab Saturn, I made a point of buying two sets of the Skylab wraps for the two unbuild 1969 kits I still had).
