Looking For Info On A Semroc Kit
Trying to discover what kits were made by Semroc with built-up fins. I believe one was a Nike- variant. There may be others too.......not sure.

Of course, there was the repro of the Estes Little Joe II. But maybe that one was a given. I think the Nike-Tomhawk did too. The Nike booster fins that is.

Thanks, Earl. Do you know if the Semroc version of the Little Joe II used card stock for the built-up fins (like the Estes original)?

I believe the Nike-Tomahawk used die-cut balsa or basswood parts for the built-up fins. Can anyone tell me what was used for the Saturn 1B?

BTW, I would very much like to get a Semroc Nike-Tomahawk to build, if anyone has one they would be willing to part with. Opened is fine as long as it's complete. PM me with a price if you have one.

On the Saturn 1b (and the Little Joe II), the process and parts/structure were the same essentially as the Estes originals. Earl

Just built a Semroc Nike-Tomahawk.
It has basswood framed inner fin structure. The only other kits I'm aware of in the Semroc line using built-up fins are the 1/70 Saturn 1B and the 1/70 Little Joe II. Both of those have balsa ribs.
