Capable of reaching altitudes up to 350 feet (107 m) on an F15-4 engine, the Saturn V recovers in two sections using two 24-inch nylon parachutes for the main body and a separate 18-inch nylon parachute for the forward section. It’s a flight-ready tribute to one of the most iconic vehicles in space history.

  • SKILL LEVEL: Master
  • RECOMMENDED ENGINES: E16-4, F15-4
  • PROJECTED ALTITUDE: 350 ft. (106.7 m)

Overview

The Estes Saturn V is a Master Level flying model rocket kit, designed to honor the legendary vehicle that carried Apollo 11 astronauts to the Moon. At 1:100 scale and standing 43.25 inches (110 cm) tall, this detailed model replicates the Saturn V with outstanding historical accuracy—right down to the roll patterns, fin details, and mission-specific markings.

A Master-Level Experience for Advanced Builders

This kit is not for beginners. As part of Estes' Master Level series, it’s engineered for experienced hobbyists who enjoy a complex, rewarding build. The Saturn V features injection-molded components, realistic surface detailing, and accurate decals, giving you a highly authentic result worthy of display—and capable of flight.

Multi-Parachute Recovery

The Saturn V isn’t just a static display—it’s built to fly. Powered by an F15-4 engine (sold separately), this rocket can soar up to 350 feet (107 meters). The recovery system includes:

  • Two 24-inch nylon parachutes for the main body
  • One 18-inch nylon parachute for the forward section/nose cone

This two-part recovery delivers smooth, safe descents while enhancing both realism and reusability.

An Iconic Tribute to Spaceflight

Whether you launch it or showcase it, the Estes Saturn V is a powerful reminder of humanity’s greatest leap. Perfect for seasoned rocketeers, collectors, and anyone inspired by the legacy of Apollo 11, this kit blends aerospace engineering and hands-on creativity in one unforgettable model.

I got the rocket kit in the mail a few weeks ago and am building it now. I'm to the point of building the escape tower. However, the capsule and escape tower are not in the box. Please help! I'm building this for my grandson.
