what's the name of that model rocket (Soviet, I think), molded in tan and very nicely molded and detailed? It's got a point at the top (duh) and it's surrounded at the bottom by about 6 other smaller rockets that seem to be embedded into the rocket's main fuselage. I believe there's also a round bit of detail, maybe a hatch or something on the side of the final stage towards the top of the rocket.



I had it a while back and can't for the life of me remember what the name of it was. Probably because it was in Russian. I do seem to remember that it had a very important payload. A satellite, maybe? I looked on Wikipedia and found the Sputnik and Vostok rockets and they are very similar,

I couldn't find any on the bay. Which isn't to say ebay is the end all and be all of my searches but if I could get an exact name of the kit itself....

There were a couple of kits put out by Apex:

I believe Realspace models has a resin version of a later version, just look in their catalog at the 1/144 launchers.

Hope this helps. :)
