Rocketarium Tank Buster 5

The TB5 represents a launched grenade used to disable, or destroy, a range of armored targets, tanks especially. This model rocket is an original design with military inspiration. It is not a scale version of a real device.

The Tank Buster 5's unique shape and six fins will make it stand out at any launch. The TB5 can be flown on B motors for low flights, or C motors for more serious action. Due to the launch lug location, a four foot long 1/8" launch rod is required to safely fly this rocket.

The kit comes complete with the vinyl decal, plastic parachute, 3D printed transition and includes the ejection baffle.
