- The United States is the failure of those to launch a Vanguard rocket Navy was developed to December 57 over a period of prestige. But in January 1958, successfully launched the Jupiter Army has developed, America's first artificial satellite, I was carrying the Explorer 1 into orbit.
- In addition, the Navy of the Vanguard rocket also March 58, successfully launched the satellite at the third time of challenge. Three-stage rocket, Vanguard rocket has launched the 11 groups through 1957-59.
- It was just 3 groups was eventually successful, although the March 58 to successful Vanguard Vanguard 1 satellite, which was put into orbit by a rocket communication was cut off, also continue to fly on the track now and we have.
[The model]
- Model is reproduced in 1/76 scale the Vanguard rocket that the United States Navy was developed to launch an artificial satellite in the 1950s.
- Gurenko is reprinted was released kit in 1958 from Adams. Kit has to reproduce the launch pad and the Vanguard rocket body realistically.
- Vanguard rocket is modeled by one stage each stage of the three-stage.
- Each stage is also reproduced rocket engine nozzle. The tip of the mounting jack and third-stage rocket of the cable that leads to the launch pad to the side of the body of the second stage have been satellite parts also set.
- In addition, also reproduced rocket tip of the nose cone to cover the artificial satellite. Total height is about 28cm, mechanical finish you can enjoy the finish.
- In addition, the finish can not be overlooked launch pad Vanguard rocket is set. Exhaust chimney to the platform, which is mounted on the bottom surface also firmly reproduction. Stairs and handrails, searchlight and cranes, faucet, such as delicate finish.
- In addition, Tower towering next to the rocket is also modeled, it tells the tension of a sense of volume is also sufficient and rocket fire.
- In addition, Figure 4 body also set that reproduces such as naval officer and technical staff. Spread the fun at the time of completion.
- Marking, such as Vanguard TV3, SLV5, SLV6, it can be selected from six types.
- Is attractive kit can not be overlooked in the rocket fan.
