I finished this lovely little kit a few weeks back ,and will tell you,it was a real winner !!The glossy body wraps are very well detailed and make the kit look almost 3D (they must be pre-glued...I used 3M 77 spray....worked very well,no problems)
The only mod I made was to replace the cardstock fins with Basswood and used TTW to mount them,as I could see these snapping off easily due to the low surface area of the fin root and the gluing to the glossy wraps (even sanding would probably not help much ,but hey ,that`s could just be me)
The 3 booster cones for the engines were made stiffer with a coat od 5 min epoxy.
That is why I want the new Minotaur to add to my Launch Vehicle collection.(I`ll have to get the pics of Carl`s DELTA MEDIUM 5+4 kit up...now that`s a killer kit !!!)
Thanks for looking
