Some finish pics in better light with a better camera, after touching up some overspray with a brush and adding clear satin coat. Sorry, this forum software sucks, you'll have to tilt your head to the side.
she looks GREAT!! well done!!
Flying it with the aerospike... Ballsy! Instructions imply that the part is meant to be removable to prevent damage/loss
Nice flight!
We had perfect conditions during a backyard launch this evening, so I decided to go for it and maiden the Redstone!

The reason I ask is because I picked one up at Hobby Lobby yesterday and I'm gathering info before taking this project on.

Doing some fin work. Balsa parts are all laser cut and easy to work with.
I just drew a line where the bevel ends and eyeballed my progress while using a sanding block. Worked out great.
Ok great. Thank you. I just started on mine tonight. Probably won't get too far as I want to go nice and slow. I'm only hoping mine will look half as great as yours. Nice work!
You started noffie?? Nice! No kidding. Flyfalcons's looks incredible!!!
Yes I did. That capsule is a pain! The directions say to "scrape sides flat". Easier said than done. The front doesn't look too bad, but where the other two panels come together there are some small gaps, about 1mm. Any ideas if that may cause flight or fit problems later, anyone?
Mine wouldnt fit and needed to be SANDED to get the base to fit, the whole nose part is a PITA. But looks cool when done. Finished mine a week ago or so
Thanks! I did make a couple little mistakes, but only a purist will notice, haha. I have to fix it yet.

What mistakes did you make?
Not tellin, haha! The instructions kinda suck and it got me.
Its the ring around the tube above the fins, I figured there was a decal (which the manual has zero about decal info, it says to look at the packaging picture), so my fault I guess for not double checking when I painted it.. doh.. But it still looks cool.. The decals make it really POP
