UPDATED with more photos and video

This is the new 1/72 Apollo 11 Saturn V from Dragon. This is a huge kit and comes with a ton of pieces. Unlike the prebuilt kit, this kit comes with the complete LM along with the CSM. Also the LM adapter is clear so you can see the LM inside. The whole launch escape tower is molded in clear as well. all of the ribbed pieces are whole and the smooth sections are in halves. The engines are well represented with a good amount of detail. All in all this looks to be a fantastic kit, and will be a blast to build. The only downfall I see is that there are no pre drilled holes for any of the fairings that get attached to the ribbed sections, but it shouldn’t be to hard to figure out.
