Note that the stickers with the red NASA "worm" logo are anachronistic. NASA
didn't approve that logo for use until October 1975, and NEVER used it on ANY
Apollo hardware. I'm surprised NASA even allowed TLC to use that logo in the
set, they've been trying to "eradicate the worm" since at least 1997.

You're absolutely right, this set should be called Apollo, not just Saturn V. I
consider that mistake another example of this entire NASA/Discovery series
having been rushed into production. I like this set a lot too, but was
disappointed to find that the CSM and LM (Command/Service Module and Lunar
Module) aren't in the same scale, so that when they're docked together, the LM
dwarfs the CSM.
