Here's all the parts from the latest version of the Estes Saturn V kit, # 2157.
The box is plenty big for what was inside. The length of the box accommodates the long BT-101 tube.
These are some of the more interesting pieces.
The wrap shows the detailing of the vacuform process.
There was an additional decal added with a letter explaining some white background was left off the fin number frames.
You can't see the opened parachutes yet. There is two 24" chutes for the lower body and a 18" parachute for the upper half. All three parachutes are printed in red and white like the original Centuri Apollo parachute pattern.
