In the article there was a picture of the first catalog, I think it was a green cover with a black silhouette. Are there any Semroc designs out there that have been retired? If so any chance of bringing them back?

If you don't mind, what was the rocket on the cover of the Central Rocket Supply catalog?

If you don't mind, what was the rocket on the cover of the Central Rocket Supply catalog?Sorry. I was too fast on that one. The catalog was from Central Rocket Company. Rocket Supply Company was a different early manufacturer that had a division named AMROCS.

The cover model was the Nova CRC7 (http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts/ClassicParts.asp?ID=715). It was an early two stage model. The engines came in a set of a booster and an upper stage engine.

Is there a copy of any of your old catalogs online anywhere?

Thanks. I looked there first but I was looking for "Semroc". You'd think that after reading the article I would have made the Astronautic Modeler connection.

I believe that I have the instructions for the RDC Nova 3 kit - I'm thinking that it's the 2-stager with 3 paralell motors in the first stage.

I can try to get it scanned if someone needs it.
