R-7 is occasionally available in high power form (requires an H motor with >200 newtons av thrust) from Cosmodrome Rocketry. Every once in awhile you can snag, as I did, an old MPC plastic flying Vostok R-7 on eBay. R-7 is not an easy build. Even Estes punted back in the 70's with their "profile" version. Apogee is supposed to be importing some sport scale version from Germany, i think. Apogee, around 1999, had a Delta available. Great kit, lots of vac formed noses. Estes has had both the Merc Redstone (from the old Centuri kit) and a Merc Atlas (same scale) available... find em on eBay. There's a large Long March plastic display kit available from China that Matt Steele and his kids have converted for flight (look for reports of NARAM-47 scale event). Estes R&D has made an Ares that has been flown by some people at MSFC in Huntsville (Vince Huegele either has it or is its custodian) Black Brant II is occasionally available from Estes, and many of the BB series are available from ARG in Canada.

The ARG kits are very cool. I bought one at NARCON a few years back. Nice build, but not a kiddie kit in any way.

Eventually, when I get the time, all of these will be available.
Maybe even more if I can find even more time.

Your Soyuz is a work of art! Tried to order one that Apogee has listed, but they were out of stock and I ended up getting the Vostok instead. Oh, I think you know that, since I e-mailed you a while back about the Voshkods.....

Sorry about that, Jim. I completely forgot about the Thunderbird. And it appears we both forgot about the Mercury Deadstone version of the Acme Spitfire. I just SO want to enter it at least once in a Sport Scale contest. Maybe you can convince Chan to use it this year at NARAM (that's the only way I'll have a chance). |

OH! That would be awesome! I'll have to see if I can still locate the plastic escape tower I had on mine (or just scratch build another). LOL Yeah, that would be a hoot and a half even
