Estes1250 Interceptor Flying Model Rocket Kit for 12 years old and up with Adult Supervision for under 12

Classic Estes design, great looking rocket in suggested or custom color patterns. This time around, yes I have built a few in the last 50 years, I'm going for a stealth look. This design has been around for about 50 years and is one of the most popular models that has good looks and great performance on a C engine. If you haven't built model rockets before; I strongly suggest you start with a few easier kits to get your feet wet.

This is a great kit. Had the original small version as a kid and I bought the E version when it first came out. I retired it years ago and gave it to my 3-year old grandson as a hanging model & this “new” one to build another flyer. I’m sure he’ll get a kick seeing one like his actually flying!

My son made this rocket for a 4H project. He was chosen as a state fair alternate. It has great detail and the finished product looked great!

Took longer than it should have for me to build (90% my fault for second guessing details). Its a little heavy in the back end so I'm going to extend the length, add weight to the cone, and put in a 24mm engine mount with the screw on retainer. Might have to modify the for-show boat tail or toss it. I'd buy it again or design something similar. Good value for the decals, plastic parts, and size. I might scale back the decals - too busy of a layout.
