This reproduction has the look, but apparently it has been scaled down somewhat, and also lacks the camera.
Finally, I found a vintage photo of the Omega, and the Omega with the CineRoc...
I use to dream of owning one of those. My older brother had a Camroc and an Astron Delta. Like the Omega, it was also a beautiful rocket. I don't know if he ever managed to get a decent picture out of it. It took one shot and it had to be sent to Estes for processing unless you had your own darkroom.
Modern technology has improved a few things.
