Review: Great first rocket! - Bought it in the same purchase as another rocket (the Taser), so we got to do a comparison. The Phantom Blue was the clear winner. Assembly was easier, as the fins guide into slots that leave no gaps (the Taser did) so they did not move when we launched it. A note in the instructions prompted us to put some tape inside the nosecone to make it snug, which was a good suggestion, and the retention strap came already fastened to the fuselage (on the Taser we had to glue it in). The Phantom has flown straight and true on every launch, with perfect parachute deployment every time as well. Can't wait to use a more powerful engine. Review: Great beginner rocket - Easy to assemble. Great starter rocket. Kids had fun launching it into the sky! Best of all we didn't loose it. So we'll get lots of launches out of it. ## Features - BEGINNER MODEL-ROCKET-BUILDING KIT: The 2483 Phantom Blue rocket model kit allows ages 10+ the chance to build and blast off our easy-to-assemble 2483 Phantom Blue model during a special occasion or the holiday season.

The Phantom Blue was the clear winner. Assembly was easier, as the fins guide into slots that leave no gaps (the Taser did) so they did not move when we launched it. A note in the instructions prompted us to put some tape inside the nosecone to make it snug, which was a good suggestion, and the retention strap came already fastened to the fuselage (on the Taser we had to glue it in). The Phantom has flown straight and true on every launch, with perfect parachute deployment every time as well. Can't wait to use a more powerful engine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great beginner rocket *by J***. on December 15, 2025* Easy to assemble. Great starter rocket. Kids had fun launching it into the sky! Best of all we didn't loose it. So we'll get lots of launches out of it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and educational way to play with the kids. *by J***Z on July 27, 2020* Assembly was easy. Always make sure you have the necessary tools and read the instructions. Once we got to launch we used the recommended "first launch" engine to gauge the direction it would land towards. Next we put in the C engine to get that altitude high... Not going to lie we lost sight of the rocket for a few seconds. Don't panic... keep an eye in the general area and soon enough you hopefully see the parachute helping the rocket fall gently to the surface. ## Frequently Bought Together - Phantom Blue, Multi - Estes 2274 Recovery Wadding - MDL RCKT ENGNS 3PC C6-5 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/16735766-estes-2483-phantom-blue-rocket-building-kit-beginner-flying-rocket](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/16735766-estes-2483-phantom-blue-rocket-building-kit-beginner-flying-rocket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
