I had the Skyrocket - II. There is an interesting story about why it was the II.
I want to get the Orbital Rocket. Monogram re-released the Suborbital version, which was supposed to be a high speed airliner, and I have one of those, but not the orbital one.

Did someone call someone a rocket?

The USAAF wanted a rocket plane to investigate supersonic flight. NACA wanted a jet, figuring it would be less challenging. While the USAAF had the XS-1 (later called the X-1) built (by the way, first flight was at Orlando) the USN decided to follow the NACA approach and had Douglas build the D588-1, a straight wing jet, which, by the time it was built, wasn't really significantly faster than other jets. The USAAF was right. Next came the D588-2, a combined jet and rocket. I found many simularites between the conficts between the USAAF and NACA and those between the USAF and NASA.

It's a pretty nice kit, Bobby's been doing the Mk IX and likes it. If it's even close to their Hellcat….

The Aussie version would be nice, but no room and would probably kill my credit card limit.....................
