This is a Retro-Repro kit by Semroc. What is a Retro-Repro? As quoted from Semroc Saturn 1B Instruction Manual: "It is a reproduction of an out-of-production model rocket kit. It is a close approximation of a full scale model of an early historically significant model rocket kit from one of the many companies that pioneered the hobby over the past half century. It is not a true clone or identical copy of the original. It incorporates improvements using modern technology, while keeping the flavor and build appeal of the early kits."

This kit offers a couple of interesting options for the builder. The first being the motor configuration. The builder can select a four engine cluster for standard 18mm engines or a single 24mm engine mount. The second is fin choice. The builder can either construct the enclosed built-up fins or use the enclosed 1/8 laser-cut balsa fins. The instructions indicate that the built-up fins are time consuming but give the builder the flavor of building the original model.
