"This kit is a beautiful upscale and upgrade to the Estes classic Starship Vega. Magnificently engineered and loaded with top-quality components and features, this rocket would be a great addition to any BAR's fleet." Chan Stevens

"QModeling of Temecula, CA has put together a great looking upscale remake of the old Estes Vega rocket. The kit has always been one of the more interesting looking "retro" rockets put in to flight and QModeling has done a fine job with this kit." Jeff Drongowski

"Another "retro" kit re-introduced bigger and better than the original. QModeling has put together a beautiful kit that's fun to build and draws lots of WOWs at the pad." Chan Stevens

"I spent hours on my ASP kit and did a decent but not great job on the bevels. Thanks to the sanding jig on this kit, it only took about 30 minutes to do a great job on all 3 fins" Chan Stevens

"I was pleased with this kit in just about every way. The directions were clear and the laser cut parts made assembly enjoyable. The sanding jig is a great idea, making sanding actually palatable. Due to it's good looks and simple, low power style construction, I would recommend this kit for anyone who would like to try mid power." Fred Talasco

"Overall, this kit was an absolute pleasure to build. The sanding fixture and the jig-saw engine mount really add a unique flavor to the build process and yield outstanding results. " Bob Cox
Nike-X Model Rocket Kit

"There's one very cool innovation about this that I have to point out, as it eliminates one of my pet peeves. Too many of my rockets are either sans hook or have a retaining hook that extends beyond the bottom of the tube, preventing the rocket from standing on its own. QModeling has designed a sliding motor hook into this kit that can be retracted to below the end of the tube for display but pulled back out for flight. Very simple trick, works great, and I'd never seen one anywhere else like this. " Chan Stevens

"A great 2.2x upscale of the 1970's Estes classic that is capable of flying to nearly 1000 feet on 24mm motors." Chan Stevens

"If a rocket can be sexy, this one is it. A long, sleek upscale of the Estes kit, this is a beautiful single stage 24mm rocket that flies as well as it looks. " Chan Stevens
Customer Comments
"The WAC Corporal kit has been extremely easy to build, but much more than beginner level. The instructions are clear and the parts are perfectly cut and are of great quality. The over-all look of the rocket is excellent and the performance is even better. My first launch on a D12-3 was flawless and perfectly straight with no sign of instability. The second flight, on an E9-4 was also flawless, but I think the estimated altitudes are a little on the low side. Without an altimeter, I estimate the flight was more like 950'-1000'. My next launch will be on an E18-4 with electronic deployment plus altimeter. Thanks again for the great rocket!" – Lee Root (WACC Model Rocket Kit)
With the winter weather fast approaching here in this part of the country, I look forward to spending some down time indoors building the coolest, most technically advanced rocket kits I have ever seen. Keep up the good work! Thanks, Ron” – Ron Avery (VEGA, SNOOPER Model Rocket Kits)
“Whatever you're doing for resin cast parts is top-notch! I've never seen such blemish-free castings, and expected to have to fill a few voids on the tiny pod cones. Keep up the great work, Chan” – Chan Stevens (VEGA, SNOOPER Model Rocket Kits)
“I received the Snooper today in good shape. I am definitely impressed with the jig assembly!! The parachute is awesome, too. It is the best quality lightweight chute that I have seen yet!! I flew my Vega again on Saturday. Once again, I got lots of compliments on it!! I told several people to mention that I recommended your kits if they ordered one. I will be taking lots of pictures of the assembly of my Snooper kit. I will send them to you when I am done. Thanks for 2 great kits. Keep them coming!!, Lamar” - Lamar Martinez (VEGA, SNOOPER Model Rocket Kits)
“Tom, Upgrade kit arrived yesterday the instructions are easy to understand. Great job! I for one am really excited about your new products and up scale kits. These are great for us old guys that enjoy the classics, but have limited flying areas. We can use the larger engines and still recover our rockets with out having a heart attack or needing GPS. I think this kit may will become the "Lexus" of my hobby fleet, oh I do have many, my wife says too many. Thanks again and keep up the good job. Bob” - Robert MacDougall (VEGA, SNOOPER Model Rocket Kits)
"The snooper and the Vega arrived today and I just wanted to thank you for the great service. The kits look terrific - the engineering that has gone into them is evident - and the customer service has been great. I'm looking forward to building them, although this can't happen until after Christmas: my wife feels they'll make great presents for me! John" - John Brohm (VEGA, SNOOPER Model Rocket Kit)
" I just wrestled the kit away from my wife. (It was a birthday present and today's the birthday)... I can't wait to start working on it. I love the building jigs you included. Excellent addition! Evan" - Evan Nau (SNOOPER Model Rocket Kit)
"This was my first 'non Estes' rocket kit and I really enjoyed the superb detail and ultra high quality. Being a small company, I really don't know how you do it! The rocket turned out beautiful and is the pride of my fleet." - Carl Kalkhof (VEGA Model Rocket Kit)
