2037 D-Region Tomahawk Model Rocket Kit, Intermediate Replica Flying-Rocket-Model Kit for Ages 10+
Key features
- INTERMEDIATE MODEL-ROCKET-BUILDING KIT: The D-Region Tomahawk rocket-building kit offers kids ages 10+ and enthusiasts a hands-on experience in creating a 1/5-scale replica of NASA's 1968 one-time sounding rocket. It includes a durable body tube, a molded nose cone, laser-cut balsa fins, decals, and a 24-inch recovery parachute. It requires Estes rocket engines, Starters, Recovery Wadding, a launch pad system, and 4 high-quality 1.5-volt AA alkaline batteries for launch use (sold separately).
- SOARS UP TO 750 FT.: Standing at 38.8", our D-Region Tomahawk rocket model replicates the legendary NASA and military-test vehicle with authentic scale detailing and aerodynamic fins. It has an orange engine spacer that allows flexible motor selection and a projected altitude of 750 ft. (229 m) using an E Estes rocket engine (sold separately). This flying model rocket is compatible with D12-3 and E12-4 rocket engines.
- READY TO ASSEMBLE: Rocket building inspires creativity and a passion for science and outer space! Our intermediate-level rocket kit comes ready to build in approximately 1 hour and includes detailed scale parts, water-slide decals, a realistic paint guide, and dual-launch lugs that accommodate 3/16-inch Maxi Rods. Pair it with the Estes Porta-Pad E Launch Pad, a 3/16-inch "Maxi" Launch Rod, and E Launch Controller (sold separately) for a successful blastoff.
- SAFETY FIRST, FUN ALWAYS: Our rockets and rocket launch accessories are designed to be used with the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code. Always ensure you have an appropriate launch site, stand back at least 15 ft., insert the safety key, issue a countdown, and then you can let your rocket fly!
- WE IGNITE IMAGINATIONS: Since 1958, Estes has created educational rocket kits designed for an unforgettable launch experience. As a family-owned company, we have grown to offer exciting STEM products that engage aspiring rocketeers and the future minds of aerospace.
