## Overview

The Estes Bull Pup 12D is a sport scale model rocket replicating the iconic USAF AGM-12D missile. Standing 15.6 inches tall, it features laser-cut wood fins, injection-molded plastic components, and authentic waterslide decals. Designed for intermediate skill levels, it assembles in about 3 hours and can reach altitudes up to 675 feet using standard Estes engines, recovering safely with a vibrant 12-inch parachute.

## Description

For all you sport scale enthusiasts, this one’s for you! The Estes Bull Pup 12D is a highly detailed version of the USAF AGM-12D Bull Pup air to ground missile. First developed in the 1950s, the Bull Pup was used in combat until the 1970s. Over 30,000 Bull Pups were built and used until it was decommissioned in the mid 80s. If you’re just getting started in scale model rockets, the Bull Pup 12D is a great kit to develop your scale model building skills. This kit comes with a large diameter, single piece body tube, high quality molded plastic tail and nose cone, laser cut wood fins and authentic full color waterslide decals. Standing 15.6 inches tall, this rocket can pack a ballistic punch by reaching almost 675 feet on Estes standard model rocket engines and recovering with a colorful 12 inch parachute.

Review: Detailed model rocket - Very nice rocket kit to build. Requires some experience.
Review: This is not a big rocket. Other manufacturers make a larger version of this scale model air-to-surface missile. It is, however, very nicely detailed. The decal set really makes it. The boat tail is nice, injection-molded plastic, not a paper cut-out that you have to glue together. It also comes with some clay that you pack into the nosecone, without which I imagine it is not stable to fly. I experimented with different ways to fillet the glue-line on the fins. Wood glue certainly strengthens the fins, but leaves a bumpy transition from fin to body no matter how careful you are. The best thing to use is probably epoxy, but that's kinda nasty stuff to work with. I used wood filler. It's cheap, pretty easy and safe to work with, and sands super smooth. You can even smear it onto the surface of the fins to fill in the grain, which both strengthens them and gives you a smooth surface like 3-4 coats of sanding sealer &/or primer would. But I digress. I generally feel that, when it comes to model rockets, bigger is better, however, this model is the exception.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many times can the rocket fly?**
A: Each flight requires an engine which is purchased separately from the rocket. Usually engines come in 3 packs. The rocket can fly as many times as you launch it - 1 time per engine.

**Q: Do you need to get a separate launcher? Any recommendation?**
A: Yes, you need a launch pad, and Quest makes a better and more simple one than Estes. I would advise, that I've built 30+ rockets with my son, and while this one is very cool, it was perhaps the most difficult rocket I ever built. You absolutely need the fin stabilizer mounting tool. Additionally, to ensure the fins actually adhered, if you followed Estes directions, and paint first, I had to use epoxy to get the fins to mount. They broke off immediately using two high quality wood glues. Using the C6-5 engine on the first launch, the rocket went 500 feet straight up, and 500 feet straight down hitting a tree, and imbeding itself in the ground without breaking. The parachute was never deployed by the motors back pressure. Upon sanding and finagling I fixed the separation issue. On the second launch I learned about the power variance I had read about regarding Estes engines. The rocket launched beautifully, soared over 2000 feet, parachute deployed, and we never saw the rocket again. I had cut a nickel size hole out of the top of the Shute, and had added 5" vertical vents as well. We never found the rocket, yet estimated it probably traveled over 3-5 miles with the wind in its descent. That isn't the only time that happened. One rocket we launched with a C6-3, landed 1 1/2 miles away on the roof of store  lesson: Quest motors are much more consistent, use a smaller engine, 500 ft. Is high enough, and the Quest launcher has an adjustable base, and feet that you can aim your rocket into the wind, fly 500-750 feet, and land within 50 feet of where it was launched. An additional piece of advice, use computer generated return address mailing labels with your name and phone number on them, clear for white rockets, and white for any colored one. Place them at the base between the fins. As we have had many a rocket using Estes engines fly much higher than anticipated,and lower, we have had 5-rockets returned because a nice person found them and called us to return it. You would e amazed at where these rockets can go very quickly. Plan on losing one out of every three. We live in suburban Philadelphia, and launch on athletic complex that has 2-square miles of fields, yet because of the varying wind currents, we have had rockets land 1 1/2 miles away on the roof of a condominium. 4-6&7 year olds followed its entire flight. Another landed in the parking lot of Chuck E Cheese, 1 1/2 miles as the crow flies, but 5-miles by car. The Bull Pup best as we could figure, landed in the exact middle of The Pennsylvania Turnpike, 2-miles away. We believe it found a home on a tractor trailer. We searched both medians for a mile, and I searched 2-miles of the middle jersey barriers. Could not find a splinter.This is an amazing rocket designed for builders with very advanced experience

**Q: What type of engine does it need?**
A: It takes Estes rocket engines A8-3, B4-4, B6-4, C6-5 which you can purchase separately.

**Q: What does it not include**
A: Not included are the materials for building the kit such as glue, sandpaper, hobby knife, and paint.  You will also need a launch pad, launch controller, engines, and recovery wadding in order to fly the rocket.  Starter sets will include the launch pad & controller and a rocket kit, but engines must be purchased separately.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***Y on 10 September 2024*

I built a lot of these as a kid. When my nephew started building them this summer...his were average. I needed to show him that not only was I better and smarter than a 8 year old, but the skills I learned at summer science camp over 30 years ago still existed somewhere deep within my core being. The end product was fabulous. Stickers were the trickiest part but for someone with my skillset about 1/10 difficulty. Now I have the rocket sitting in my nephews bedroom next to his average rockets to remind him that he still has a long way to go and to continue shooting for the stars in hopes that he can one day be like his uncle and not his father.
