Another highly sought after scale kit has returned to Estes. The Nike Smoke is a 1/10 scale model and is actually a pretty straight build. The Nike Smoke has always been a favourite among rocketeers of any age, because of its long conical nose and its trapezoidal fins with bright colors.

The assemblying is traditional, with pre-cut balsa fins to be finished and glued to the rocket body.
