mekon Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just picked up a an (old) new kit on a Saturn V LUT. It's rather nice and will post a few pictures if anyone is interested. Parts are cast resin and brass with plastic rod for the a majority of the pipwork. On the whole it is very nice, I believe it will be upgraded before further copies come out.

bootneck Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Ken, very interested to see this, what scale is it? I am scratchbuilding one and it is taking quite a bit of time and effort so it would be nice to see an actual kit. cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mekon Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Mike, It's 1/144 for the Airfix or Revell Mongram Saturn V. I'll sort some pictures out tomorrow, I haven't sorted through the box yet but first impressions are good. I saw one completed in 2002/3 and it looked really good. If you're scratchbuilding joinh the LUT group on yahoo, some good info there. I have around 250 pages (plus) pages of plans form a US friend in storage at the moment. I can sort you out a copy but it wont be for 4 or 5 months as we are in the process of moving and I have no access to it at this time. Cheers, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mekon Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Some pictures of said LUT kit. As you can see it's well cast and contains PE as well as the resin. Plastic rod and tubing is provided for the pipework. I will investigate the kit further and provide more details if anyone is interested. Kind regards, Ken Edited February 3, 2014 by mekon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mekon Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I will try and found out when this will become commercially available. I will post some initial impresssions of the kit when I get home from work next week. I am still waiting for the intructions, they are currently being written up. I believe there will be some changes to the floor, better and more accurate mesh work for the LUT levels. I saw this kit completed in 2003 and it looked very good, it's really nice that it has now seen the light of day. Kind regards, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It will be released? I heared about this kit and recall it was produced in a very limited number w/o instructions. Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
