After emptying some of my father's old boxes I found a
model rocket kit in it's original packaging. It is the
Gemini III Model (Unit No. 295) from "Things of Science"
and it is dated 1965. It was distributed for free by
Science Service, the Institution for the Popularization
of Science.
Is this type of rocket kit collected by anybody?
Thanks,

Yes it is valuable. Keep it safe and post it as an auction item on
formatting link
or just sell it to a deserving and worthwhile
person like Peter Alway. He publishes books on scale models and even if
HE auctioned it and kept the money. he wouold probably use the money to
travel to collect yet more scale data of general benefit of rocketeers
for decades to come.

great weekly magazine and yes they still run the science fairs. every
year the winners sound more like PhD projects but these kids are still
in high school!! wowie!
