Where can I find a Pershing Kit?

two places I know that make good rockets:

Skunk Works:

in 5.5" diameter

and

Performance Rocketry if you want a huge 7.5 " fiberglass model of it !

John,

Good suggestions from Art U. on top of the line kits, but if you want something much less costly and something that can fly in the E engine rage you specified try

They have a Pershing MGM-31A with a D/E-sized 24mm mount (they recommend AeroTech E30-4, RMS E18-4, RMS F24-4). I'm not the biggest fan of The Launch Pad kits, but they do have some pretty cool scale kits at reasonable prices. I haven't seen or used this particular kit so I can't say much more about it.

Is TLP still in business?

Ray,

Not so sure, but you can still find the TLP kits at local hobby stores, some online stores (Red Arrow Hobbies still has them on their site

and all over on auctions (two examples below):

For sure I've seen Pershing kits for sale recently.

-Tim

a little typo there, the correct link is

the counter on their website still increments, so they must be still in business :)

You can get a beautiful fibergalss nose cone and resin fins from Ed Miller's Alien Enterprises, and the body tube from Totally Tubular. The rest is easy.
