This may be a short thread, as I think I may be the only person around with one of these. The Centuri Hercules, part of the "Stellar" product line, was released in 1975 in the Rocket Times:

I'm told the Stellar kits were boxed for sale at retailers like Sears, but I really don't know about that. Sadly, I missed the Stellar kits, as I got into rocketry in 1976 and never saw any of the Rocket Times issues where these rockets appeared. It wasn't until just a couple of years ago, delving into Ninfinger's site, when I first saw them, and I really liked the Hercules. Semroc carries all the parts, even laser-cut fins, so building my own wasn't hard to do, and it's a beauty on the pad or in flight.
