The Jay Hawk from Madcow Rocketry is a great rocket kit to introduce you to mid-power scale models. This is a semi-scale model of the AQM-37A missile used by the U.S. NAVY as a high-speed target drone.

This model is perfect for modelers that like rockets that can stand up to a lot of punishment. It has thick-walled body tubes, plywood fins and centering rings, and a nylon cloth parachute. It also features through-the-wall fin tabs, so these fins are not going to let go if the rocket has a harder-than-normal landing.

The big size of this model will surely get you noticed. If that doesn't do it, then they will certainly hear the roar of the big motors that this rocket can easily accept. There is nothing like the throaty roar of a big engine to get heads to turn to see what is going up.
