The Beginner level Amazon is as imposing as the name sounds. This giant stands 76cm tall and is quick and easy to build! A black body tube, precolored plastic nose cone and fins and a tiger striped self-stick decals make building this rocket easy to do in about an hour. 

The Crossfire ISX is an intermediate level kit that can easily be built in about a day. This rocket features a totally streamlined shape with aerodynamic fins and nose cone. It stands 40cm tall. A 30.5cm (12") parachute returns the Crossfire back to earth to launch again and again.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD Amazon: Scissors, fine sandpaper, carpenter’s glue, plastic cement, hobby knife and masking tape. (Tools, construction and finishing supplies not included.)
