Riptide Launch Set for Beginners by Estes Industries

Model Rocketry sure has come a long way from balsa wood nose cones and fragile balsa wood fins. You spent more time repairing the rocket than flying it!

This attractive 18 inch high rocket comes semi-assembled with a plastic nose cone and fins that are finished in a blue chrome. If you remember how the bumpers on scale model cars were chrome-plated, think along that image except the color is metallic blue rather than silver or plain chrome.
