Black Brant Combo Pack of Three Scale Model Rocket Kits
Combo package of three of our Black Brant kits: Black Brant IV and Black Brant VB (for 24mm engines) and Black Brant III (for 13mm engines).
The Black Brant IV is a Canadian sounding rocket designed to launch payloads to over 500 miles high. First flown in 1964, the two-stage rocket was used into the 1980's. Over fifty flew from launch sites all over the world, including Peru, Spain, Norway, Greenland, and the U.S. among others.
This single-stage scale kit is nearly three feet tall and features a balsa transition and hard balsa nose cone, laser-cut fins, water-slide and self-adhesive decals and quick-change engine hook. You can fly this model on a wide range of engines, with fairly low altitudes on a C, but practically out-of-sight flights on an E! Designed primarily for 24mm C, D & E engines, it can also be flown on selected 18mm engines with an adapter (not included). A bright metallic parachute returns it to the ground for flight after flight.

The Black Brant VB is a Canadian sounding rocket designed to launch payloads to an altitude of 200 miles. First flown in 1965, over 180 have flown from launch sites all over the world.
The Black Brant VB has long been a favorite of scale modelers. This new scale kit is over two and a half feet tall and features a balsa nose cone, laser-cut basswood fins, water-slide decals and quick-change engine hook. Designed primarily for 24mm C, D & E engines, it can also be flown on selected 18mm engines with an adapter (not included).
