Review: Nice 1/10 scale model. - Estes model rocket kits are always the finest kind. I have lost track of all rockets built since the 1960’s. But, all have been outstanding when Estes kits. One can pick a difficulty level and work from there.. When first beginning model rocketry, our 7th grade science teacher had a shoe box on each student’s desk including body tube, a balsa fin stock sheet, a balsa nose cone of various designs, a motor block and an Estes motor motor for a scratch build. Estes retooled kits over the years replacing plastic for many parts. This has both simplified construction and made for more accurate representation of scale kits. I prefer scale models, generally, but love to build and fly them all. This Patriot model is fine. The Patriot ADA missile was coming online during my military service and is a pleasure to have and build.
Review: Easy to build and looks great! - This is by far my favorite Estes kit. It's simple to build and flies great! Spend the time to paint it and it looks great, too!

This is by far my favorite Estes kit. It's simple to build and flies great! Spend the time to paint it and it looks great, too!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Estes Patriot scale model - a great flyer
*by E***. on December 23, 2025*

This is a great Estes kit for either a beginner or a more experienced builder looking for an easy scale model. I really took my time with this build, particularly for the fin alignment and also for the scale paint scheme. The time spent aligning the fins paid off. The model ascends vertically without any role or precession. I've flown the model on a few motors, but the Estes B6-4 provides a very nice takeoff with the 4 second delay providing an optimal time to apogee and deployment of the chute. Enjoy.
