Helping out another BAR recently with his quest to produce a clone of the Styrene plastic parts for the Old Estes Geo-Sat LV #1977. It came to me that I have overlooked this very interesting model in my Downscale Micro Collection. My Still flying 3-C6 Clustered standard model gave me all the needed dimensions and having saved the Instructions, FS Fin Pattern, Scanned decal sheet and bag Panel from back in 1989 gave me everything needed to look at doing an approximate 3X downscale which will make the Satellite & Nosecone BT-5 (.544" dia) with the Core Airframe T4 (.448") and the Twin Boosters T3 (.375"). Ho Heck Yes It'll be a 3-MMX-II Cluster.
Looking this weekend to see what clear Polyethylene Payload section material I have but got side tracked repairing the Back Stairs.
Will Update as I get further into this project as it will involve just a little wood carving on parts of the Satellite payload.
Should be a fun downscale.
