I am building the Estes Vega from 1979. This is a complete kit and the decals still look good and I should be able to use them. This build may be a little slow because of my work schedule. I will post more pictures.
I have one sitting in the bag also SICGS:
Since I have my Super Vega and micro as well I haven't taken the time to clone or build the standard size. Was always one of those very Cool designs.
Can't wait to see how the completed Starship Vega turns out. For some reason it seems to be completed Super Vegas that make up the majority of Starship/Super Vega pics on the Net.
Just she is built, just have to seal the balsa and spray my primer. Will be out of town all weekend, but should have it all painted by next week. This is a nice looking design and fun build. Should be another Estes bring backs. The only hard part is keeping everything aligned.
Top view looking down, had to keep everything aligned, the Estes tool came in handy here.
Between work and seminars I have not had time to work on my Vega. I had the last 2 days and next 2 days off, so I will get here finished. Here is some pictures of my rocket with Krylon white primer.
Here is some pictures of The Vega finished. I put the top coat on yesterday and today added the decals. These are old decals and fragile, but that was not the hard part. The hardest part was all the dang wrap around decals. They have to all be even with each other, that is tough. After cursing a few times and taking a break I finally finished tonight.
