I learned that there might be a Nike-Smoke theme at the Summer ROC-Stock. Peoples were talking about Polecat, or Madcow, or whatnot. I fell back on my great experiences with Rocketry Warehouse products. I have a Quest Nike-Smoke, a Madcow 2.6 inch NS, and an Estes 3 inch NS. So I went for the 4.0 RW Nike-Smoke as it's not a budget buster at $150.
I don't have a parts picture tho somewhere along the way I upload a picture of the washed parts. Maybe on Faceplate.
The quality I think is excellent. The nose cone is beefy and the seams are negligible. They should be easy to clean up. The nose cone does not have the 3 plates at the base molded in but those are easily added using card stock if you care. I might. I might not.
The fins appear to be two gel coated FG shells joined together and filled foam. They have a bit of a seam to clean up. I'll get a photo or two of those later.
Otherwise the kit is bare bone which I expected for $150. Two centering rings, a 12 inch 54mm MMT and a bulk plate for the nose cone. A single exploded parts illustration is the instructions. No matter... this was all expected.
