Yes! it's so nice to finally see a Falcon Heavy Model rocket kit hit the market and she's a beauty!
Thank you Boyce Aero Space!!!
 
Has anyone built and launched this kit yet? I have looking at the catalogs instructions trying to decide if it can be modified to have the boosters fall off in a 3 motor cluster.
 
Wow is that pretty! Sure wish it could be 1:100, but it's available tube diameter restraints, I'm sure. Close to HO scale, though!

I like to demonstrate things for the grandkids. And stop & think of this- a 31.25" tall rocket in an HO train layout! Yow!
 
I wonder if they've fixed their thin wall printing issues. Had a few kits from them and every one of them broke on landing due to how thin their printed walls were. Beautiful kits but not the most reliable on durability. I had their 4" Redstone and their BT80 Pershing, both suffered from having very thin walls. A lot of money for something so easily broken.

Maybe. The BT-80 Redstone seems to have solid walls so perhaps they added more material.
