This is amazing. I bought it for my brother in law for his birthday. He absolutely loved it. He said it was challenging, but fun to do. It didn't take too many tools, and he said he loves how detailed and large it is. I highly recommend this model for those who love to build models. its wonderful.

This rocket and lander was MUCH larger assembled than what I anticipated based on the size of the box. My 9-year-old is in love with space stuff and requested a Saturn V rocket and he was so excited to get it, build it, and show it off to others. My son isn't very patient and has Autism so he definitely needed some of my patient help in getting some of the more complex pieces carefully pushed together. But the foam/coated pieces were pretty sturdy and he enjoyed the little tool to help pop our all the teeny bits. I did whip out the hot glue gun at the end to tack a few specific spots together so they wouldn't be apt to separate after and I used a couple of large rubber bands around the round body of the rocket while we were building it. Definitely helped with stability during construction. Overall, great rocket and my son is thrilled with how large and impressive it is once assembled.

A real cool model.

Some of the pieces wouldn't stay on or fit but otherwise it was fun to put together. Not very sturdy though.

The model finishes out very well, all the pieces popped out of the pages very well and the fit is very good. I have not built a foam core model before and this one was very pleasant to put together. It took about an hour or so to finish. Now if you are not a model builder, or you need a lot of detailed written instructions you may have some problems figuring out what to do. However, if you will just pay close attention to the diagrams it goes together very well. This is not a fine detail scale model of the Saturn V and the Lunar Module, it is a prefinished foam core paper sheeted model that is a fun project.

I'm not an expert model builder by any means, but I was able to assemble this space shuttle puzzle over 2 evenings. It was a lot of fun to build, and it looks really nice on display. Young people building this puzzle may need some help. Building this model was an educational experience, and it allowed me to remember and appreciate America's space shuttle program. America's space shuttles were unique and functionally awesome for working in space. It's a terrible shame that the space shuttle program was abandoned. Now only China has space shuttles.

The finished model looks great and makes an eye-catching display, but the building experience wasn’t nearly as smooth as expected. The NASA Apollo Saturn V 3D Puzzle is a fun concept — a 32-inch replica of the legendary rocket — but it requires a lot of patience to assemble. 🔹 Cool Design and Great Detail The product visuals on page 3 show how impressive the model looks once finished, and that part is accurate. The completed rocket stands tall and includes nice details like detachable stages, a lunar module, and a printed NASA logo. It’s a fantastic display piece for anyone interested in space or Apollo history. 🔹 Assembly Is Tricky and Time-Consuming However, the assembly estimate on page 3 of “200 minutes” is pretty optimistic. Many of the foam-core pieces are tight-fitting, fragile, or slightly misaligned, making it easy to bend or damage them during construction. Some tabs don’t lock cleanly, so a bit of trial and error is needed — definitely not ideal for kids or beginners. 🔹 Good Value, But Could Be Improved The product description on page 4 emphasizes “no scissors or glue needed,” which is true, but glue would’ve helped strengthen a few loose connections. Once it’s done, the structure is lightweight and can wobble if moved too much. ✅ Pros: Impressive finished model with great visual accuracy Fun for space enthusiasts and collectors No glue or tools required Looks great as a display piece ❌ Cons: Fragile foam material bends easily Some pieces don’t align perfectly Time-consuming, with unclear instructions at times Not ideal for younger kids or first-time builders Overall: A nice-looking model once complete, but patience is key. It’s more of a delicate display piece than a true building experience. Great for adult collectors or space fans, but too fragile and frustrating for younger builders. A solid 3 stars — cool idea, uneven execution.

It only took an afternoon to assemble this puzzle/model. For as simple as it is, it’s got really wonderful detail when you consider, 1, how small the scale is, and, 2, it’s a cardboard puzzle! The “extra” model of the Eagle lander looks even better than the main rocket.
