Our Nike Hercules is one of our most popular kits because it’s one of the coolest missiles the U.S. Army ever deployed. It was designed to intercept and destroy high-altitude Soviet bombers before they could deliver their nuclear bombs on U.S. cities and military installations. It was deployed around major cities during the late 50’s through the early 80’s. The advent of ICBM’s made the missile obsolete within just a few short years. Our model is a 1:24th scale replica of the Hercules. The kit comes in 10 pieces for easy assembly. Just wet/dry sand and primer the model, paint the parts, then assemble and detail the model. You’ll have an awesome model to fly and display!
