One of the ADVANCED SERIES of kits, which include factory pre-slotted airframe and through-the-wall fin construction, the Big Nuke is our large scale version of the perennial favorite Lil Nuke. This heavy duty cardboard model rocket kit comes standard with a 54mm motor mount tube but can fly well on large H, I and J motors as well using optional LOCK IN adapters! We upgraded the shock cord to 18' of 5/8" tubular nylon and added a CEC-3 chain connector to the SCM-4 shock cord mount for heavy duty flying. Parachute Recovery. Rail guides included!

Leo ★★★★★

The Big Nuke is a beast of a kit compared to the little one I used to fly. The factory pre-slotted airframe saved me so much time on the build, everything lined up perfectly. Launch was rock solid and it recovered clean both flights.

Matthew L. ★★★★★

Through-the-wall fin construction made the build rock solid—no alignment headaches at all. Flew it on a breezy afternoon and it tracked straight as an arrow, just like the smaller version but with way more presence. Exactly what I hoped for from a large-scale kit.

Carter ★★★★★

The pre-slotted airframe saved me so much time during assembly, and the through-the-wall fins feel rock solid once glued in. I’ve built a few kits this size, and this one went together noticeably faster while still looking sharp on the pad.
