Initial Release: 2025
Medium: 3D Printed Resin
Kit Rarity: 2

About the Design

Commando Cody was the titular hero of several 12-part theatrical serials produced by Republic Studios during the early 1950s. In addition to his trademark rocketpack, Cody flew to his various adventures aboard his unnamed "rocketship," a finned, bullet-shaped throwback to the horizontally launched rocketships of the Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers serials of the 1930s. Miniature work for the series was done by Howard Lydecker who, along with his brother Theodore, was responsible for some of the most notable miniature effects of the mid-20th century.

About the Kit

Released in late 2025, the Commando Cody Rocketship was a relatively simple 3D-printed kit with a hollow interior.

This model was built from an original issue.
