This kit comes with 2 rockets. Well, blow me down! T' rockets are very small mini engine rockets that are very cute t' fly and display (would look great on an office desk). 

I.Q.S.Y. Aye aye! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! Tomahawk (Soundin' Rocket) 

Very common scale kit for competition. Avast! Very simple construction. Arrr! Ya scallywag! Main parts are balsa nose cone, arrr, 4 fins, and a body tube. Avast! Avast! I finished mine like t' package white with red nose and one black fin.  I filled t' nose cone for a nice finish and t' fins were fiber so they finished nicely as well. Avast, me proud beauty! I flew it on an A10-3T, matey, which be a bad idea. It flies like a Mosquito, now you see it now you don't. Aye aye! Begad! Luckily, me bucko, I saw t' streamer and recovered it safely. 

MM.38 Exocet (Anti-Shippin' Missile) 

A nay so common scale kit but very good looking. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! T' fin design and arrangement is quite awesome. Begad! Again, fiber fins and balsa nose cone with two washers for nose weight. Begad! I smartened up on this one and flew it on a 1/2A motor for very impressive flight. Aye aye! At least I got t' watch this one. 

I filled t' nose cone and painted t' kit t' match t' package, orange front half, black aft half and I added t' 2 included decals. Ahoy! I like this rocket's design so much, I plan t' upscale it into me level 1 certification project.
