I'm after some small rocket booster type things to launch my X-15 Zell. There's two I have identified as having potential but other suggestions will be welcome....

Airfix TSR-2MS - the big rocket missile thing from the Anime version kit.
Revell Sanger Spaceplane - This had an option of carrying a small shuttle or a satellite launch rocket. I'd like another of the rockets.

They're not small.  Here's one under a Wyvern F.1A

Two should easilly ZEL an X15.

Aren't there more than one rocket supplied with the TSR-2 Anime kit?

I've got one in The Loft but I gave someone here one of its rockets, but I'm pretty sure there was another one in there too.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yes, the TSR.2MS has two ZELL boosters, one under each wing.

Must've made take offs rather interesting if one failed...

There are two in the box.  I could only fit one under the Wyvern.

Nick I have a couple of the RATO pods fitted to the Wyvren from the Trumpeter kit. Each consists of 5 small rockets. Now they are certainly small but probably to small for what you want ?
