Text of release announcement:
Semroc has released four new kits for the winter build season. The Deci-Scale™ Aerobee 300™ is a 1/10 scale of the popular sounding rocket designed by Aerojet General, also called the "Spaerobee". Adding a Sparrow upper stage to the Aerobee-Hi (Aerobee 150), altitude and speed records were broken. This model is the starting point for your recreation of any of the several launches of this popular design. It is a sport scale so it does not have the booster that was normally used to launch the original. This model is 24mm engine ready for C1l's and D12's. It is almost 3 feet tall so it will be a great addition to your Deci-Scale™ family. It is also an upscale of the popular K-
17 Aerobee 300 produced by Estes in the early days.

The Deci-Scale™ WAC Corporal™ is a 1/10 scale of the first two-stage liquid fueled rocket. This model is the starting point for your recreation of any of the several launches of this popular design. It is a sport scale so it does not have the booster that was normally used to launch the original.

The Retro-Repro™ Cherokee-D™ is released by popular demand for an early Gene Street design. One of the first D powered designs, it launched a new generation in model rocketry.

The popular Retro-Repro™ Ranger™ is based on a design by Vern Estes from 1962 of the first commercially available cluster kit. The design spawned many other versions over the years.

Wanted:

Bagged kit pictures and parts laid out.

I have these for you, but too large for forum.

I was initially confused by the dates. It appears this is for the Semroc version and not the Estes Astron Cherokee-D, correct?

Correct, this subforum documents the Semroc releases. The good news for the Semroc versions from other kit manufacturers is that there is a comprehensive parts list in the PDF, and most of the fin sets, and some of the parts are available at erockets still, so you may be able to clone a Semroc Cherokee D which is a clone of an early version of the Estes Cherokee-D
