Honest John
I am very pleased with the quality of the 3d printed parts. All the parts fit perfectly. Will definitely be getting another one of Boyce’s kits.
Fantastic Kit!
The HoJo has always been a favorite, but I'm scared to fly my Estes Maxi Brute. Boyce Aerospace to the rescue with an amazing kit!
Great builders kit
Enjoyed building this honest John will be purchasing another kit
Excellent workmanship, could have more details, like screws, bolts. Overall lots are awesome.
how do you describe high-quality
Hi not too long ago I just purchased the 1/9 scale Honest John missile , and I also purchased the Mercury Redstone rocket , both these models or such high quality that it's hard to describe but I can tell you this especially with the Honest John all the real hard work is already done for you write down to the details , all you need is a few basic parts such as the body tube , your parachutes and your engine mount at a little bit of hardware that's about it , both these rockets are going to be my fault projects so as I finish them I will post photographs , but if you want a high quality model don't hesitate they are well worth every penny whether you intend to fly them or just have them on display in your home or even office personally I don't even think of to fly my that's how nice they are but that's up to you thank you Charlie
