There was also a short run of the X Prize Vanguard Eagle,
and a gumball launcher payload model, a sport flyer design.

There may be more kits produced, but this is what came up on rocketreviews
and a few I had built.

Missed a few...
 

Wes also produced the following kits:

Juno II
Jupiter-C

Mercury Little Joe
Titan IIIC MOL

Orion EFT-1
SLS

Vostok

Crumman C3C
CRV Lifting Body

I know that his Saturns were already listed, but just FYI, here's the list of Saturn 1/1B variants as I recorded them from the labels on the boxes:

Saturn 1 Block II
Saturn 1 SA-5
Saturn 1B
Saturn 1B Apollo 5
Saturn 1B AS-203
Saturn 1B ASTP
Saturn V
Saturn V - Skylab

Hope this helps you towards completing your set of his kits! They truly were awesome. At the end, he was working on a 747 SCA/Shuttle; man, I wish that had made it to kit stage. It looked truly amazing. :)

Wow, that list is impressive. I bought a Saturn I SA-5 last year. Looks like I’ve got a ways to go to complete the collection ...

:)

Thanks Dean

I just wish Inhad bought them all when he was running full out.

Soyuz 19 ASTP (sold with the Saturn 1B ASTP)
Vanguard Eagle

Jeez! I didn’t know Zooch was shut down! I better hang onto my Zooch MR Little Joe.

Wes shut down for personal reasons but he did reach an agreement with Erockets to take over production of some of the more popular kits like the Falcon Heavy and Saturn V, both of which are listed on their website now.
it remains to be seen what other ones Randy may bring back.
In the meantime Zooch kits are selling for 3-4 times their original pricre on ebay now.

Yeah Wes shut down and sold out a few years back. Hated to see it... most original and neatest "builder kits" in rocketry at the time. AND priced right! I miss building the beta kits for him and posting the build threads. Wonder if the one I built for him is still in the gift shop at CCSFS?? He had me build a couple for him and box them up and ship them back to send there for displays-- they were selling his kits in the gift shop!

He really had some great and innovative ideas on how to construct kits, that's for sure. Really fun to build and fun to fly, without costing a fortune. Glad I got most all of them before he shut down. OL J R :)

My daughter's first rocket!!! She and I did the beta-build on that kit for Wes before he released it, and did a build thread on it which we posted here and on TRF... I did really detailed build threads on all the Zooch beta builds I did for Wes, replete with tons of pictures and tips/tricks. They're all here in the archives I suppose, and on that other rocket forum.

GbLV is a fun little sport flyer... great for kids because they can put whatever "payload" they want in the gumball canister nosecone, and recover it separately on a parachute... the rocket comes down by streamer. I even picked up a BIG gumball canister to modify to fly on it, by gluing a bit of tubing on the bottom to fit the centering ring that the small capsule rides on...

Later! OL J R :)
