Ahhh the memories...
My neighbor got this set for Christmas in 1973. We didn't have the right size batteries for the controls so we duct taped some "D" batteries together to make it fire. I don't remember if the set came with the 1973 catalog or if we sent away for one using a form that came inside.
I remember mailing in cash for my first rocket (a scout) and a pack of A8-3's. I proudly painted it dark green using a gallon of old house paint I found in our basement. Flew great from what I remember.
