Estes Industries announces an invasion from another planet, with the arrival of the Exo-Skell™ alien lander model rocket kit at the 1998 National Model & Hobby Show.
This incredible flying model rocket looks like a monster from a sci-fi horror movie!
It boosts into the air, then the alien landing craft deploys legs and a recovery parachute. The mothership booster is also recovered via parachute. You can see the alien inside the landing ship, and he pivots to remain upright during the entire flight!
The Exo-Skell™ uses Estes®' standard engines and is recovered by a fully assembled 12" (30 cm) parachute and an 18" (46 cm) parachute. This is a fun to build model that really looks out of this world!
