Customer Reviews
I call it my hot rod. A fin busy rocket that looks really sharp.
My best friend built this rocket back in the early 1970s and it always made me think of him when I saw it online, we had many flights of it during my childhood but sadly it came down nose first one time and that was the end of it, I was thrilled to see it was re-released so I bought a couple of them and I'm going to build it and paint it exactly as I remember he did in the three colors he chose.... metallic Burgandy, Hot Pink and Turquoise!
I bought this kit a few months ago. The kit was fun to build. I do wish it came with decals. Or at least a Estes logo decal. Other than that it was a great kit to build.
