Bull Pup 12D Skill Level 2 Rocket Kit (EST7000)

The Bull Pup 12D is a skill level 2 model rocket kit designed for sport scale enthusiasts, representing a highly detailed version of the USAF AGM-12D Bull Pup air to ground missile. Developed in the 1950s and used in combat until the 1970s, the Bull Pup is a historical rocket with over 30,000 models produced. This kit is an excellent choice for those beginning their journey into scale model rocketry and developing their building skills.

This kit includes a large diameter, single piece body tube, a high-quality molded plastic tail and nose cone, and laser-cut balsa fins. It stands at 15.6 inches tall and can soar to impressive heights of nearly 675 feet using standard engines, thanks to its design and features, which include water slide decals and a colorful 12-inch preassembled parachute for recovery.

Assembly may take up to a full day, so it's recommended to have building tools, finishing supplies, Estes engines, and launch equipment on hand, as these are sold separately. The kit is recommended for ages 10 and up, with adult supervision advised for those under 12.

Specifications include a length of 15.6 inches, a diameter of 1.33 inches, and a weight of 1.8 ounces. Suitable engines for this kit are A8-3, B4-4, and B6-4, with a maximum altitude of 675 feet.
