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 These radar-guided missiles can take down many airborne targets, including hostile cruise missiles. It can detect high-flying targets up to 85km away. For lower-flying targets, it still has a 35km range. 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. The rocket comes complete with parachute kit for recovery. The translucent nose cone makes it a good candidate for clustered night launches. Recommended motors for this kit : Estes 3xA8-3, 3xB4-4, 3xC6-5 The model is 26.5" long with a 1.637" diameter (BT60 body tube). Kilter This Anti-Radiation-Missile is deployed to take down enemy radar installations in no time at all. The ARM boasts a very high success rate against targets up to 75 miles away. As it includes a good amount of nose weight for stability, the model won't go to extreme altitudes. Keep it nice and low for easier recovery. The kit includes details, such as cable tunnel and self-adhesive decals, to give the finished model that great look. Complete with parachute kit for recovery. Other parts include laser-cut plywood centering rings, translucent nose cone, balsa wood, fin templates, and more. The completed model stands 20.81" tall. The airframe is BT60. The fin span is 5.17". Recommended motors for this rocket are the Estes D12-5 and AeroTech D15-7 RMS™ PL12 Missile This Chinese Medium-Range Air-To-Air Missile compares to the U.S. AMRAAM in size and functionality. With it's active radar seeker, it offers a true "fire and forget" solution. Jet fighter pilots can fire multiple missiles at multiple targets quickly and easily. The wide selection of model rocket motors it flies on makes it easy to adjust altitude for launch site size. Recommended motors are : Estes D12-5, AeroTech E20-7, and AeroTech RMS E18-7, E28-7, F24-7 Decals, and fin mounting attachments, provide detail to the kit for that scale look. The finished missile is 30.30" tall. The body tube is BT60. The fin span of the forward fins is 5.76". There's a short boat tail, which is formed from card stock using the included template,
