US Project Sword enthusiast Rob Godwin has sent these fabulous pictures of the US Sears Apollo Saturn Rocket and Base, together with the amazing box. The bottom picture shows the Century 21 Rocket next to the taller Sears. I find it fascinating how the Sears set is like a mix of the Century 21 Cape Kennedy set and Apollo Saturn Rocket. Rob says that the SWORD Saturn V was modelled on a 1964 Sears rocket. It is almost identical but smaller (i.e. the mold was cast from the Sears one). The original Sears vehicle actually emitted smoke and came with a launch tower. It is extremely rare! enjoy!
