It's an Exocet alright, but it looks to be the one from the Mini Scale Combo Pack. It looks like the IQSY Tomahawk from the same pack is standing next to it.

No, the #1925 Exocet is almost 2ft tall. The rocket in the picture is less than 12".

I just read John's reply. He's correct, it's the mini-version that was packaged with the mini Tomahawk which is also in that picture.

Ah, that's it! I remember buying that "two for one" thing way back...

The only one I'm not sure about is the blue with black fins (on the left). I just don't remember, and the fin shape is kind of unique.

Well, I have 5 kits to make now, so that's what I'll be doing in the weeks to come. Will post more pics when they are done. Workin' my way up to the Mercury Redstone

Thanks for the IDs, folks!

Is the first one an Alpha with the fins on backward?

The first one looks more like the Estes Skyhook to me; and I thought the larger one in the
middle was the Estes Drifter (was one of my favorites back in the early days before I lost
it somehow; will have to build me another with the spare parts already on hand!)....

AHA! The fisheye is 20/20.
I think there's someone on here that's a fan of that "design". I seem to remember a thread from a long time ago that concerned this very subject.
