Description
An Estes classic model rocket for generations, this spoof of a WWII era German fighting vehicle is always a crowd pleaser, with its slow, stable takeoff, bold colors, and unique 18 inch parachute (remember to turn the chute upside down so the crowd can see it on the way down). This Skill Level 1 model features a plastic nose cone, laser cut balsa fins, an 18mm motor mount for B or C power motors. Flights to 600 feet are impressive, but keep the model where everyone can see it!
As a skill level 1 model, this is slightly challenging, so better for older first time rocketeers or young rocketeers with a model or two under their belts. But the laser cut fins are large and easy to glue onto the body tube, and the BT-60 body tube lets fingers of all sizes get in there to complete construction. It can look great with a good coat of 2 different colors of paint, and the water slide decals can be slightly challenging. But this s a great step into models that require you to glue the fins on straight and work with paint and waterslide decals.
