SA-2 Guideline Scale Hobby Rocket Kit

Skill Level: Advanced

The SA-2 Guideline is a scale model rocket kit from Rocketarium that replicates the original surface-to-air missile developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War era. The Soviet designed surface-to-air missile was the first to actually take down an enemy aircraft in flight. The SA-2 Guideline was deployed near Soviet cities, such as Moscow, to defend against USAF bombers during the cold war. Later, they were also used in East Germany.

The kit includes laser-cut balsa fins, a blow-molded nose cone, and a durable body tube.
With a length of 67.6cm and a diameter of 5.6cm (with Tail Cone), this model rocket has an estimated weight of 176g, making it suitable for launching with a range of 24mm standard model rocket engines (Not Included). The kit comes with a detailed set of instructions and decals that add an authentic touch to the finished model.

The SA-2 Guideline rocket is an Advanced rocket kit, meaning that previous experience with model rocketry is recommended. The construction of the rocket involves gluing and sanding of the fins, attaching the canards, and painting and applying decals to the body tube.

Once constructed, the SA-2 Guideline rocket can reach impressive heights of up to 1300 feet, depending on the engine used. This kit offers a fun and challenging building experience for rocket enthusiasts looking to add a unique and historically significant rocket to their collection.
