AeroTech - WartHog (89018) Gallery

When it came time to develop a second generation of AeroTech kits, I had several ideas.

One was to create a model which looked somewhat like a Hellfire anti-tank missile. Alas, while I could use the fins from the HV Arcas kit and get an inexpensive extruded mold made for the conduit pieces, a new nose cone mold was out of the question. Since AeroTech only had one 2.6" diameter nose cone mold, that was used for the kit.

Many years later, I decided to make a model of 'my' WartHog design. Thanks to the use of an Estes PNC-80 nose cone, I had my model.

I have only flown it a few times but I really like the look of the model.

Just to be clear: this is not a scale model of anything?

I want to index it correctly.
