If you want a REALLY impressive Pershing, try this baby... http://www.polecataerospace.com/pershing_ii_5_5.htm

there is also a nice smaller MPR (mid-power) kit from TLP, see more here: http://www.rocketreviews.com/reviews/kits/tlp_pershing_1a.html

It does bring back memories. I was in Schwaebisch Gmuend Germany from 72-74 in a Pesrhing missile unit. And yes, I'm glad they just sat there quietly.

The Estes maxi Brute Pershing comes up on eBay once in a while and they go for some big bucks. I chose to scratch build my own using the Estes plans.
