Overview

The beloved Brant is being revived, sporting the same classic design from the 90s, while boasting some new improvements. The Brant is now produced with laser cut wood fins and plastic toothpicks. Fun to build and exhilarating to fly, this rocket is one of the highest flying model rockets in the Estes scale collection.

The Black Brant family of rockets was made in Canada in the late 50s. More than a half century later, highly reliable Black Brant rockets are still carrying scientific payloads to high altitude.

A stunning model, the Estes Black Brant II rocket is a 1:13 scale replica of one of the earliest in the group. Loaded with scale details, this impressive rocket stands nearly 25 inches tall.

Finish your Estes Black Brant II rocket with detailed waterslide decals and an 18 inch parachute for gentle recoveries. Use the recommended D12-7 (sold separately) to reach heights of 1300 feet. Build and fly your Black Brant II today!

Great rocket kit

This is being built for my grandson to fly. I only wish Estes would be back some of the classic kits from the late 1968 to 1976, similarly to the vault offering on the “starlight” kit. Hey Estes bring back more from your vault….

Very nice! I would like to suggest that it be equipped with an "E" mount. It is indeed stable enough to fly on an E12-8.

My favorite models are models of sounding rockets and this is my favorite sounding rocket model! Just challenging enough to be interesting and absolutely beautiful when done well. I’ve built several and have more kits as spares. As previously mentioned, also a great performer on a D engine.
