Rocket, Flying Model Kit, Aerobee-Hi

This is one of the first commercially-produced flying model rocket kits, unassembled and in its original box. Made by Model Missiles in 1959, the kit is based on the U.S. Navy's Aerobee-Hi sounding rocket. The rocket body is pasteboard, the nose cone is plastic, the fins are balsa wood, and the parachute is plastic. The kit does not contain a motor.
