Product Information

The Arcturus sounding rocket was intended to serve as a replacement, or upgrade, to the popular Arcas sounding rockets.

It's main selling point was that it could be launched from the existing Arcas launch platforms, avoiding new infrastructure expenses.

The Arcturus rocket never gained a wide user base as new two-stage Arcas configurations served the same purpose more efficiently.

The finished scale model stands an impressive 38.5" tall. This is a big model rocket kit!

Product Features

The Arcturus rocket kit is offered for sale complete with fin mounting attachments for added detail.

These are formed from pre-cut balsa pieces, using the illustrated instructions.

Self-adhesive decals are included for lettering, logo, and bolts. Painting masks help modelers paint the arcs.
