ASP Black Brant III (18mm)
The Black Brant III was a sounding rocket built by Bristol of Canada and designed to carry payloads to an altitude of over 100 miles. The first flights took place in June, 1962 at Wallops Island, VA. There were nearly 70 Black Brant III flights between that time and when the last one flew in 1985.
Like other vehicles in the Black Brant family, the Black Brant III has long been a favorite of scale modelers. This new scale kit is designed for 13mm "mini" engines, and features a hard balsa nose cone, laser-cut basswood fins, water-slide decals and parachute recovery.
