Looks like G. Harry Stine had at least two of the Bo-Mar kits, the Swift and the Alpha-1:

Plus, Bill Eichelberger (Wallyum) has taken a stab at reproducing at least three of their kits, the Spartan, the Alpha-B, and the Ajax: https://www.rocketreviews.com/bo-mar.html

In addition, Bill has done an upscale Bo-Mar Spartan (see https://forums.rocketshoppe.com/sho...ighlight=Bo-Mar ). Nice work, Bill!

Kind regards,
