I still have a piece of MPC body tube, with those plastic fin mounting rings glued on it. It might be the Redstone Maverick, or one of MPC kits I bought from AVI in the mid 70s.
The two MPC kits I have intact are a Pegasus II (the multi-stage variant) and a Moon-Go, which I hope to repaint.

I've got the Icarus-C, built, but only half painted, the Flare-Patriot, built, painted, and flown once into a lake  , the Lunar Patrol still in the box awaiting inspiration, and the Nike-Patriot, built and half painted, but flown several times.
