Rocket Technology Corp.
Has anybody heard of the Rocket Technology Corp.? I have a kit of their German V-2 1:50 scale. I never heard of them and Google has not provided any leads. They were apparently based in Ogden Utah.
The style of the box makes me think 60s or 70s but I have not found a date on anything. It is a plastic model but sized for 18mm motors. Some of the recommended motors are even still being made. I'm curious as to what else, if anything, they made and if the rocket has any value. I do plan on building it but am curious anyway.

Rocket Technology Corp. of Ogden, Utah ceased production approximately 1972 after being in business for about two years. Their only kit (K-1) was a small 1/50 scale plastic model of the V-2 that came with parts necessary for flight conversion. This information taken from 'Flying Rocket Kits 1958-1988' by Richard M. Jungclas. The kit appears for auction on Ebay from time to time and typically sells in the $20-$40 range.

Not sure if that is something that could be shared around, but that would be great if it could... Or is there an avenue for aquiring this work without copying it?
