I'm looking for a Pershing Kit. Something like the old Estes Pershing using D or E engines. The Launch Pad sold them when they were still open, but past posts on this newsgroup says they are closed.
Any suggestions? Thanks
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.

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.
