    Another Great Classic

    Couldn’t wait to add this one to my collection. I have my original built one from the 60s plus sealed kits of the originals. Hope to see more of these classics coming….

    It was very hard to glue together.

    My 14 year old son loves putting together rockets and launching them but has yet to get this one to stay together with breaking.
