An all time favourite - good looking and flying, too!

Sadly, this kit is now out of production and stocks are declining. Easy to build, the 1/10 scale model looks like a real US Army M-104 missile... which may put some people off despite the fact that the Patriot is a DEFENSIVE missile.

The Estes Patriot flies to 600 feet (183m) and probably can't be used effectively to down model SCUDs ;-) Even the real one is not very good at SCUD downing, apparently! A lot of the hard work is done for you with die-cut balsa fins, molded plastic nose cone and a set of self adhesive decals. Doing an accurate paint job is easier than it looks, thanks to the decal set.
