Howdy Guy,

Well, I can point you to a card model of the Nike-Ajax if you want. The site also has a card model of the Rascal Nuclear missile too. Being a card model, you can resize the parts to what ever scale you need. You will find the two files here:

http://www.radelow.ch/anderes/flugzeugmodelle/download.htm

Now the site is not in english and there are no instructions but I have built the Nike-Ajax before years ago and its fairly easy as long as you know what the missile is supposed to look like (get a photo of one from google images).

Other than that, Revell models had a 1:96 scale "history Maker" series of models which included the Nike-Ajax, snark, bomarc, Navaho and other missiles years ago, you can still find these models for sale on ebay.

But, be prepared to pay a hefty price, one missile I have, the aerobee, sold for $275 (US). However, not all of them sell for that price, some you can get for about $60.

I just remembered, there is a site that does have the nike model often...or a few versions of it, look here: Old Model Kits: Aurora, Revell, Monogram and other rare and out of production model kits .

The extreme prices on ebay is the main reason i am keeping my aerobee, snark and bomarc models. I also have the "redstone missile" although it was an earlier production than the history makers series of models.

hope this helps,

Greg
