Moderate build. Challenging decals.Arrived in a box, not a bag (good job, Amazon)The shock cord cap for the nose cone assembly is loose in the coupler. Don’t forget to wrap tape around its shoulder as described in the instructions.One of the roll bar decals runs down the middle of a fin. A relief will need to be measured and cut out from a decal to accomplish this. (Referenced in pictures)I used the following mods:- traded rubber stock shock cord for elastic- beveled the leading and trailing edges of the fins. Instructions also show a template to produce a more pronounced bevel to keep it true to scale- I always use superglue to initially attach fins to body tube on my rockets, followed by several applications of wood glue to create fillets- all plastic-to-paper joints were done with two part epoxy- the plastic transition near the tail cone leaves a triangle shaped gaps along along the root edge of the fins. I used scrap balsa to form little triangles by sanding to fill these gaps- used Micro-Sol setting solution to give decals a painted on lookThis is not a “beginner” kit. Takes moderate modeling skills to get it done correctly. Looks very nice when completed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't wait to launch it! *by on Reviewed in the United States 31 December 2024* I bought this rocket 30 years ago and it blew up on its first flight (never knew why). Now I'm wanting to introduce the hobby to my son and I saw the Black Brant rocket here on Amazon and I couldn't resist! I enjoyed every minute of this build. It really brought back some good memories and I hope my son will take to the hobby like I did and enjoy it for years. Here's to better luck on it's maiden flight! ## Frequently Bought Together - Estes Black Brant II Flying Model Rocket Kit | 1: 13 Scale | Advanced Level - Estes 2231 Fin Alignment Guide Model Kit , Color Varies - Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/385187627-estes-black-brant-ii-flying-model-rocket-kit-1-13](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/385187627-estes-black-brant-ii-flying-model-rocket-kit-1-13) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
