Scale rockets of
Chinese launch vehicles are difficult to find
because the secrecy surrounding their launch
programs. This
model of the Long March 3 is probably one of the
first ones ever in
the USA. It is an easy kit to assemble, which makes
it about the
easiest scale model kit you can find anywhere.
The real Chinese Long March 3 rocket was a three-stage launch
vehicle designed for delivery of satellites of 1,500
kg mass into
geosynchronous transfer orbit. This is a 1:95th scale
model of the
rocket, and features a blow-molded nose cone, plastic
fin unit, and
a pre-decorated body tube. There is no painting
required!
Plus, it uses standard size rocket engines, so you'll be able
to
launch it using your favorite rocket engines.
Blow-Molded nose cone. This one-piece nose cone is built
tough,
and should stand up to many hard landings.
Plastic Fin Unit. The fins are slid and glued into channels
on the
molded fin can. You'll know for certainty that your
rocket will fly
straight as an arrow.
Plastic display nozzles. The simulated nozzles are glued to
the base
of the fin can, and give your rocket a nice finished
look. They stay
on during flight, just in case you were wondering.

High-Quality Pressure Sensitive Decals. While the tube is
pre-printed with the correct markings, there are a
couple of stickers
that have to be placed on the nose cone. I'm very
impressed by the
quality of the decals. For being 'sticker-type'
decals, they are very
thin and therefore almost seem like they were
silk-screened right
onto the rocket.
The large 18 inch diameter brightly-colored parachute that
comes
with the model makes it easy to see in the sky and
when it lands on
the ground. You'll feel a thrilling sense of
accomplishment the first
time you see that parachute blossom open in the sky.
Watch the
faces of the kids as they chase the rocket, and
you'll see why
rocketry is so much fun.
Elastic shock cord - Used to prevent the rocket from
separating into
multiple pieces.
Quick-release metal engine hook, that lets you swap out
engines
between flights in just seconds. The engine mount
accepts the
standard 18mm diameter rocket engines.
