MPC Martian Patrol Build Part 1

Here's all the parts laid out.

I couldn't quite figure out the color picks on the plastic parts. Green fin parts, gray adapter and a yellow nose cone. If the model were left unpainted, it would be one ugly rocket!

There was some interesting parts included in the MPC kits.

Included was enough fiberglass insulation (MPC Recovery Wadding) for one flight.

Two lead washer weights glue into the center recesses of the Styrofoam saucers. This center weight helps them "hover".

Hoo Boy - fibreglass insulation and lead in a rocket kit. How did I ever survive my teen years!

A countdown card was printed on card stock, separate from the instruction sheets. This way you could take it to the launch with you. The NAR Safety Code is printed on the other side.

Three small, yellow stick-on address labels are included. They are almost too small to write in an entire street address line.

You are supplied with two sets (four in total) of engine mount centering rings. A single ring by itself is structurally too thin. You glue two of them together for a strong two-ply laminate ring.
