Space Racers by Isabel Thomas

Space Racers contains everything you need to press out and make your own paper rocket models. From the rocket that made the first manned space flight, Vostok-K, to the future of space travel, the Skylon space plane.

Use the easy to use, step-by-step instructions to build eight historically accurate rockets and two imaginary rockets, which are left blank for your own designs. A separate booklet introduces you to the exhilarating world of rocket science and space exploration, and includes fun and detailed fact files for each rocket.

This is an exciting kit for space enthusiasts aged eight to adult.
