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