A build from t' old boxed line o' MPC model rockets. Blimey! Very sturdy, me hearties, a combination o' plastic and cardstock tubes, no balsa. T' parachute tape strips had t' be replaced with new ones. T' rest o' t' model was built stock. T' model has a very thick, plastic launch lug. T' same fin unit be used in t' MPC and later Quest Nike Smoke kit.
