Estes 7315 Blue Origin New Shepard Builder Kit, Intermediate Flying-Rocket Model Kit

The Estes 7315 Blue Origin New Shepard Rocket Builder Kit encourages intermediate model-rocket enthusiasts to build with imagination. Designed for adults and kids ages 10+ (supervision recommended for ages under 12), this kit allows builders to create a 1/66th-scale model of Blue Origins New Shepard launch vehicle. The model can reach an impressive altitude of up to 700 ft. when powered by Estes engines (sold separately). This comprehensive kit includes laser-cut balsa fins, a blow-molded nose cone with printed details, an injection-molded tail cone, an 18-millimeter screw-on engine retainer, waterslide decals, and a Blue Originstyle 15-inch parachute. Perfect for families, friends, space enthusiasts, or aspiring rocketeers, the Blue Origin New Shepard kit offers hands-on experience in engineering and aerospace. It is especially ideal for helping kids explore the wondrous world of science and develop a better understanding of how rockets reach outer space. After an estimated assembly time of 1 hour (not including glue- and paint-drying time), the New Shepard rocket will be ready for proud display or launch prep. To build and launch this rocket, you will need masking primer tape, a pencil, a ruler, yellow glue, a hobby knife, medium CA glue, wax paper, scissors, clear coat (optional), paint (white), fine sandpaper, a sand block, a compatible Estes model-rocket engine, starters, recovery wadding, and a compatible Estes launch-pad system. Always follow the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) model-rocket safety code during operation. Estes rocket kits are built from the highest-quality components and designed around the unforgettable experience of pressing launch. Our hobby and STEM educational products range across all skill levels, interests, and power levels. Unleash the space dreamer and science enthusiast in you with an Estes model rocket!
