IIRC, that isn't a model. It is one of the two (I think) unused
Saturns from cancelled missions.

There are three S-Vs on display: one at KSC, one at JSC in Houston, and one at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama (the Marshall Space Flight Center is located near there).

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V:

Currently there are three Saturn Vs on display, all displayed horizontally:

* At the Johnson Space Center made up of first stage of SA-514, the second
stage from SA-515 and the third stage from SA-513.

* At the Kennedy Space Center made up of S-IC-T (test stage) and the second
and third stages from SA-514.

* At the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, made up of S-IC-D, S-II-F/D and S-IVB-D
(all test stages not meant for actual flight).

Of these three, only the one at the Johnson Space Center consists only of
stages that were meant to be launched. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center in
Huntsville also has on display an erect full scale model of the Saturn V.
The first stage from SA-515 resides at the Michoud Assembly Facility,
New Orleans, Louisiana and the third stage was converted for use as backup
Skylab and is now on display at the National Air and Space Museum.
