Nice flight, and sweet rocket! I really wish videos could accurately capture what some of these motors actually sound and feel like when they light off. I bet this was really fun to watch in person.

Onto light sanding, some Bondo filler, and priming...

Need to add two sections of black to the switch band, then it needs to be clear coated.

Very nice Justin. I really like to see scale kits painted in another paint scheme. I am building a MC 5.5" Patriot that is going to have different colors than standard Patriot.

Thank you sir... Since I didnt have a "proper" Nike Smoke nose cone, I figured a deviation from the typical Smoke paint scheme was in order.
Clear coat was applied over the weekend, and for all intents and purposes, project completed.

Definitely implementing the parachute shelf on some future builds....I knew that something was missing
Love the craftsmanship in the build. Glad launch and recovery went to plan!

Agree with the paint job, looks really cool and a nice departure from the norm. Have been turned off by Nike Smokes till this thread
