This is a sport-scale model of a Japanese sounding rocket. The SS-520 was a two-stage rocket, the kit is single stage. The real SS-520 rockets can reach altitudes of 800 km to conduct scientific experiments and gather data.
This flying model rocket doesn't go quite as high. Good thing too, it would make recovery impossible. The SS-520 rocket does, however, fly on a cluster of two 18mm motors for added fun and excitement. The self-adhesive decal sheet includes fin wraps, lettering, and body wraps. This kit includes the ejection baffle, which makes it much easier to get this rocket ready for launch.
