Sheri's husband was the builder. He made scratch built models for museums. At some point he decided to sell mid-power rocket kits but he was not a rocketeer. I don't believe anyone on the forums ever met him or saw him or Sheri at a launch. The first kit they offered (Redstone?) had 32mm motor mounts. They shortly switched to 29 mm, but all of the tubes and stuff they used were not rocket company tubes, and very poor quality. Most of the kits are really pretty bad. I had a couple I never built and eventually sold. I've seen a few nice builds out of them over the years but those builders had way better than average skills and would have done as well scratch building. If I recall someone on one of the forums saying they had built a few of the Sheri's kits and really liked them. So your milage may vary. I don't ever recall seeing photos or videos of a built Sheri's shuttle.
