For all you sport scale enthusiasts, this oneâs for you! The Estes Bull Pup 12D is a highly detailed version of the USAF AGM-12D Bull Pup air to ground missile. First developed in the 1950s, the Bull Pup was used in combat until the 1970s. Over 30,000 Bull Pups were built and used until it was decommissioned in the mid 80s.
