ImagePORT CHARLOTTE, Florida USA — Rocketarium.com is pleased to introduce four more new models to their line of model rocket kits, expanding the company's product line to a total of 24 model rocket kits.

Based on BT60 body tubing, these four newest models are made for 18mm and 24mm motors in the A through E impulse range, adding new scale air-to-air, ground-to-air and air-to-ground missiles to Rocketarium's repertoire of fine products.

These add additions bring various new skill level kits to the hobby rocketry modeler, expanding their existing line of scale models and original designs, and offers something for all types of model rocketry enthusiasts.

Alamo

This medium-range missile can successfully target aerial objects ranging from hostile jets to enemy missiles (in flight).

They can find their target even when the enemy employs electronic jamming or evasive maneuvering.

The missiles are modular in design and can easily be converted from semi-active radar-homing to infrared.

The overall weight and size of this rocket makes it a great performer for smaller launch sites.

Enjoy those slow launches we all like to see.

There are a total of three (3) fin sets. This combined with a card-stock boattail make for an enjoyable modeling experience.

The finished model stands 30.13" tall and is BT60 based.

The rocket flies on Estes® D12-3 and AeroTech D15-4 model rocket engines.

Gadfly Missile

The Gadfly is part of a highly mobile missile system that can be ready for action in minutes.

The model flies has a 3 x 18mm cluster motor mount. You can use A8-3's to keep it low for smaller fields, or go for it with 3 Estes C6-5 motors.
