QModeling have now arrived and are all in stock, we are stocking their complete range of retro kits. The kits look great quality even looking at the components in the bags.

Hooray at last its all here. We have every 38mm & 54mm kit BSD offer. The Level 3 Horizon kit is being held back for the BSD Altitude Challenge at UKRA in June.

It has been a while since we initially announced our agreement with QModeling. Unfortunately QModeling have had a production issue with some of their decals and havent been able to ship them. They solved the issue a little while ago and our shipment has been sent. We are expecting them in the next few days. We are sorry for the delay, but I am sure they will be worth the wait.

The Kent Canterbury Extra newspaper (part of the Kent Messenger Group) has an advertorial on Rocket Store next week, issue distributed on Tuesday 25th April 2006. The text should hopefully explain a little about what rocketry is all about, alleviate some of the worries and get more people to visit the shop.

The BSD kits are starting to come in, but as usual the shipment have got split up in customs. So far the following have arrived.

• 1 x Apache (38mm)
• 1 x Intrepid 2 stage 54mm to 38mm
• 2 x 4" Thor (54mm)

Squirrel Works have launched 2 new model rocket kits, called the Interstellar Probe and Valkyrie. They are both now in stock.

Good news, the Quest order has finally arrived. We now have, with the exception of 1 or 2 kits, all the Quest line now back in stock.

We have taken delivery of 2 PML CoPilot altimeters.

We are now out stock of approximately 50% of the Quest line of products. Unfortunately due to lack of stock at Quest we have had to wait for a new manufacturing run. However almost every kit is on order and they should arrive in the next few days.

More stock replacements for Estes, we are now back up to full stock and have all UK Estes distributed kits now in. We are waiting for delivery from the US of some of the US only kits not available in the UK yet.

Unfortunately we have had to increase the Royal Mail postage fees in line with their April annual price hikes. Please remember we charge carriage at cost on Royal Mail and Courier. It has however put 25p on the basic £3.60 under 1 Kg charge now making it £3.85.

Squirrel Works have launched 2 new model rocket kits, called the Interstellar Probe and Valkyrie. They are both on order and should arrive in a week or 2.

We have taken delivery of a small batch of smlimline retainers of most sizes and flavours in the circlip and threaded internal ring type.

These retainers are ideal for minimum diameter rockets or just rockets where there is not much space around the motor mount, such as a LOC Vulcanite.

We have been informed by Scott at BSD that our order is complete and should ship monday, so we should see it her within a week or 2.

We have just finished updating the shop and we thought we would put a picture of it up in all its glory with its new (very expensive) slatwall. It is only a small shop but we think it is even better now.

For all those HPR flyers, dont worry we haven't stopped selling them, they are just too big to hang on slatwall.
