The Chinese Chang Zheng-2E (English translation: "Long March 2E") is a heavy-lift satellite launch vehicle with a lifting capablility in the
same class as the Titan rocket, or the Russian Proton rocket. This is a 1:150th scale model of the rocket, and is perfect for displaying on
your rocket shelf, as it stands 13.38 inches (34 cm) tall.

The CZ-2E rocket can fly with standard size rocket engines and is just as impressive in the sky as on the launch pad. It descends to the
ground with a 12 inch diameter parachute.

The quality of the kit is comparable to those made by other manufacturers. I'm impressed by the quality of the plastic parts, such as the
injection molded fins, and the blow molded nose cone. The tubes are all convolutely wound, which is different from the traditional
spiral-wound tubes made by other manufacturers. Other than that, about the only difference is that the engine mount is ever so slightly
larger due to a small difference between the rocket motors flown by Chinese modelers versus the standard 18mm diameter motors flown
here in the USA. But 18mm diameter motors work just fine in this kit; no modifications are needed. If you like the Sky CZ-2E model rocket
kit, be sure to check out the other kits made by the "Sky" rocket company.

Convolutely wound paper body tubes. The tubes and rings of the
CZ-2E rocket are unique in that they are convolutely rolled, as
opposed to the spiral-wound tubes that are in other rockets.
Convolutely wound means a whole sheet of paper was rolled up
to make a tube. It is a little bit stronger than a spiral wound tube
because there are no seams along the length of the tube. The
other advanatage of this is that the pattern of the rocket can be
printed right on the model! With this rocket, you'll get a multi-
color pattern that looks great when sitting on your display shelf.

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.

Injection molded plastic nose cone. The quality of the molding is near
perfect, there are no seam lines at all! And this has got to be the
thickest walled plastic I've ever seen in a model rocket. But for this
model, it needs the extra weight to insure the rocket is stable when
flown. The fins are a bit small, so I'd even recommend a few extra
grams of clay shoved into the nose cone to give it more stability.
Elastic shock cord - Used to prevent the rocket from separating into
multiple pieces.
 
Plastic Fin Unit. The clear (actually a milky-white color) fins can be
installed for flight, or if you are only displaying this model, they can be
left off for a more accurate representation of the real rocket. The
plastic used in the fins is flexible, so the rocket can take a really hard
landing and the fins will always survive.
