A Full Gantry

Now and then I have a senior moment! I had one recently. I've long wished for another battery-operated Cape Kennedy Set- style you to surface. Alas, this hasn't happened but I dod come across the Cashulette/ Countdown Inc. Apollo Saturn V and Gantry model kit a couple of years ago. I thought that would be it.

But, like Yoda said, there is another! It's been right under my nosecone for years! I've even admired the box art many times. But not until this week did I realise it was another Saturn V AND gantry/ crawler [LUT in NASA circles] set. So here it is, the Aoshima Apollo Saturn, released in 1969 and re-issued more recently.

I'd love to see the biult-up Aoshima and Cashulette/Countdown Inc Saturn kits and Century 21 Cape Kennedy Set pictured together in one big V-Off! Can anyone help?
