Here is the long awaited 1/24th scale flying Nike Hercules model rocket kit from Boyce Aerospace Hobbies. The kit is 100% 3D printed ABS plastic and comes in 5 parts. The parts that you will  receive are, upper stage nose cone with canard fins, upper stage airframe with fins, upper stage tail cone with recovery system attachment point, booster stage with fins and built in motor mount. and 2 motor retention rings (we give you a spare). The rocket is meant to fly as a single stage rocket powered by a single Estes D12-5 motor. The kit is 19 1/2" long, with the booster fin span at 5 3/4 " and weighs in at 5 oz. without motor or recovery system. No recovery system or decals included at this time. ( the modeler must supply their favorite recovery system ).  

If Cox had stayed in the plastic model rocket business this is the next kit they should have produced. The Nike Hercules was a two stage supersonic missile to missile interceptor. It was deployed around several large US cities and over seas with NATO to protect against Soviet ballistic missiles. Our version is surprisingly accurate, flies great, and makes an awesome display model.

The model is reasonably priced when you consider the over 20 hours of print time required to produce it. The parts require sanding and several coats of spray primer prior to painting to achieve a smooth finish. As always, replacement parts will be available for purchase if you damage your rocket. Stay tuned for more great kits coming soon from Boyce Aerospace Hobbies and thank you in advance for your patronage.
