INDIGO
SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILE







Indigo is a high-acceleration, short-range anti-aircraft missile manufactured by Contraves Italiana and Sistel.  Its single stage, British manufactured motor produces 8,267 lbs. of thrust for 2 1/2 seconds, giving Indigo a range of approximately 6.25 miles against low-level targets.  It is a self-contained mobile unit, carried by Ford manufactured tracked vehicles with six missile containers on each.  The real missile is 3.32m long, weighs 267 lbs. at launch, and carries 21 kg fragmentation warhead.
Slightly modified for 1998, our Indigo kit now uses "D" through "F" power for its spectacular flights.  Watch it move out on an AeroTech E30-7 motor!   Our version of the Indigo is more than 44 inches tall (1/2.95 scale), yet still flies from most standard tripod model rocket launchers (with 3/16" diameter launch rod.)  Tail cone, body wiring tunnels, and fin-tip receiver aerials add detail to this model.  Light weight and mid-power; what a combination!
