OK...I like the old rockets, this is my take on the 1955 Coaster Super-Son (Supersonic)? Center tube is a 20mm with centering rings holding on a cardstock skin. Nose cone is cardstock. In hind sight I wish I had gone thru the skin to attach fins and launch lug, I hope it doesn't leave the fins behind on launch. John

I like taking care of the gallery section especially because of posts like this one!

Thanks for sharing!
 
Thanks..Launched on a A8-3, great flight. I think my scaling has it a bit short may redo.
 
well no need to mention much about it as they are awesome in their models. but i can only request you to please post some more models pic to look up for and also their construction patterns and cost incurred in constructing them
 
You sure it's not 1958 instead of 1955? There's a 58 catalog on yorf and there's correspondence on ye old rocket plans publications where he indicates he started Coaster in late 1957 after Sputnik.
