My first attempt at a MicroMAXX rocket, the Mighty Saturn V from FlisKits. Pretty straightforward build. For the main body decal, I painted the tube white and applied that decal without cutting out the slots for the fairings. I wrapped that decal around the entire body tube in one piece. I then glued the farings right on top of the decal, then the fins. Those paper parts I colored with a black Sharpie and a metallic silver Sharpie. That was pretty much the only deviation from the instructions in the build sequence. Fun little build. I have one of the MMX starter sets with the plastic Shuttle Orbiter and Saturn V, that I have heard don't really fly that well, I have not launched any of them yet. Waiting for some good weather, might be a while.
I was thinking that instead of the black cone, it could have been colored to look like the rocket plume/smoke kind of like these cardstock display stands I made.
