Centuri - Quasar (KC-7 or #5067) Gallery

Did this one from Semroc parts and the nose is from Sirius Rockets moldin oldies line. Inkjet decals, painted with Tamiya Mica Silver and Krylon Banner Red.

Very nice!!:clap:

Your Quasar looks fantastic!

Nice workmanship, Jim.

Very cool! I have that nose cone waiting in the bag for my ESS Raven clone attempt. Matter of fact, I have all the parts cut out in basswood for the clone. I just need for it to cross my radar again.:wink:

Muy lindo Señor!

If you have any additional information on this rocket and/or catalog photos please let us know.

I'm finding some of the parts at Semroc for this rocket, but I can't find a list of exactly what is needed. Can someone post this or point me where I can find that? Thank you.

Have you tried JimZ's page?

https://www.spacemodeling.org/jimz/kc-7.htm

Yes, click on the last page in Neil's link (the one with the picture of the compasses and ruler) for a list of parts.
The nose cone and smaller ram jet nose and tail cones can be found in Sirius Rocketry's "Moldin' Oldies" section.
ST tubing can be found at the erockets website.
Have fun!

Holy smokes, I didn't know that's what that page was for. Thanks for the tip.

I looked for the nose cone, it's not available but I found one on Shapeways. https://www.shapeways.com/product/8PRFBNBQW/centuri-quasar-cone-for-bt-60?li=shareProduct

Like I said, Sirius has the nose cones and tail cones:
https://www.siriusrocketry.biz/ishop/moldin-oldies-pnc-165-154.htmlAbout a third of the price at Shapeways.
Contact Sirius, maybe he can do a run for you since it's currently sold out.

Yes they do, the nose cone is Sold Out. I haven’t purchased anything from them so I’m not sure when it will be available.

I didn’t read your entire response, before I replied. I will reach out and see if they plan on making more. Thanks.

Hey, look what I found in my stash.


tjgray, PM me if interested.

Hey gang, upon further digging I found a website that has the downloadable .stl file for this nose cone.
So if you have a 3D printer you can make one for the cost of the filament.
Instead of paying $30.
You're welcome.

Been working on this for a while. I think it's my first Centuri clone.
