Remember this advice Danny. When you launch your new MMI rockets be sure to choose your location and weather very carefully...

Yeah, Thanks, JR. These Kits are Unbelievably Nice,,, being stored in a Hobby Shop all these years. Im waiting for seller, who is on Vacation, to say if he bought them new. He is an Older Man & was part of his collection. Didn't come cheap--But with that Kit #003, which I posted a few months ago w/upper & lower engines plus Super B's,,, I have all 3 MMI kits Plus every kind of Engine, except that old one by Brown (anyone got 1 ???). That would complete my MMI set, except the Tower (& maybe a few other unknown items). Anyway, I am Very Happy with this, and, yes--I had to show it off. Who wouldn't ?!

That is indeed a wonderful find! I hope you didn't have to trade a kidney for it!
