Viking Model Rocket Kit (EST1949)

Estes Viking Model Rocket Kit is a beginner-friendly high-altitude rocket that invites you to design its look. The kit includes five die-cut card-stock fins and self-stick decals, offering 48 possible configurations for a truly customized rocket while delivering high-performance flights. It features a single-piece body tube, a molded nose cone, and an orange streamer for easy recovery, so tracking and retrieval are straightforward after each flight.

The Viking stands just over 12 inches tall, about 0.74 inches in diameter, and weighs roughly 0.6 ounces, making assembly approachable as a weekend project. It’s designed for use with standard Estes engines and requires building tools, finishing supplies, and launch equipment (sold separately). Recommended for ages 10 and up with adult supervision for those under 12, this kit is a great choice for beginners, class projects, clubs, and rocket demonstrations, delivering flights up to around 1,698 feet (518 meters).
