Estes Leo Space Train Advanced Model Rocket Kit (18mm Standard Engine) [7285]

The Estes LEO Space Train kit allows you to bring to life the impressive features of this spacecraft. The kit includes precision-cut balsa fin and wing panels with laser-etched details, and an authentic-looking plastic engine nozzle and custom LEO Space Train "lion" graphic and logo. It can reach up to 300 feet (91 meters) on a single-stage C6-3 engine and return gently to Earth under its own 18-inch parachute.

Authentic-looking plastic engine nozzles adorn the tail ends of both the powered host rocket and the non-powered booster. A sheet of different colors water slide decals with the custom LEO Space Train “lion” graphic and logo add that last touch of realism.

While the real-life counterpart to the LEO Space Train glides home to a wheels-down landing, the finished Estes kit launches and lands as a traditional model rocket.

This scale-like model can reach up to 300 feet (91 meters) on a single-stage C6-3 engine before returning gently to Earth under its own 18-inch parachute. The highly detailed LEO Space Train look great on the pad and on display. You’ll definitely want this one in your fleet!
