This kit comes with 2 rockets. Begad! T' rockets are very small mini engine rockets that are very cute t' fly and display (would look great on an office desk). 

I.Q.S.Y. Blimey! Blimey! Tomahawk (Soundin' Rocket) 

Very common scale kit for competition. Avast! Very simple construction. Well, blow me down! Begad! Main parts are balsa nose cone, 4 fins, and a body tube. Begad! I finished mine like t' package white with red nose and one black fin.  I filled t' nose cone for a nice finish and t' fins were fiber so they finished nicely as well. Aye aye! I flew it on an A10-3T, shiver me timbers, which be a bilge-suckin' idea. It flies like a Mosquito, arrr, now you see it now you don't. Ahoy! Luckily, ya bilge rat, I saw t' streamer and recovered it safely. 

MM.38 Exocet (Anti-Shippin' Missile) 

A nay so common scale kit but very good looking. T' fin design and arrangement is quite awesome. Ahoy! Again, arrr, ya bilge rat, arrr, fiber fins and balsa nose cone with two washers for nose weight. Ahoy! I smartened up on this one and flew it on a 1/2A motor for very impressive flight. Ahoy! At least I got t' watch this one. 

I filled t' nose cone and painted t' kit t' match t' package, me hearties, orange front half, me bucko, matey, black aft half and I added t' 2 included decals. Begad! Aye aye! I like this rocket's design so much, I plan t' upscale it into me level 1 certification project.
