Yep, this is the original 4” Miss Riley (aka Rocket Boy) from RocketMan, circa 2000. It features the 8.5” spun aluminum nozzle that makes this a truly unique kit. It was a limited edition and I think only about 200 were made. It sold for $250 19 years ago.
This kit is complete and has not been assembled. It includes the spun aluminum nozzle, a Rocketman R7C chute, precut fiberglass fins, and stainless hardware. I have added 2 things that make my kit unique, first the kit came with a 13” plastic nosecone that I thought was just too stubby so I have substituted a 17” nosecone that looks much better. And second I have created a Miss Riley vinyl decal that matches Ky Michaelson’s original hand painted script on the Miss Riley rocket as seen in the final scenes of the movie. After I re-drew Ky’s script, Mark at Stickershock printed it perfectly in red vinyl. No Brush Script on this rocket.
Please note: the spun aluminum nozzle is purely for aesthetics, a traditional 38mm motor mount is tucked inside the hollow nozzle.
My price for this kit is $300, plus actual shipping (probably around $25-$45 depending on your location), and I will ship to the lower 48 states only.
Very few of these kits ever come up for sale, it’s been out of production for 19 years, and I have included a custom decal and an upgraded nosecone.
Send me a message if you want the kit and I will give you a total with shipping based on your location, then you can pay with PayPal (friends and family) and I will ship.
Please check out the pictures below, I’ve included photos of the actual kit, a render of a good color scheme, and the page from the 2000 Rocketman catalog.
