One I had as a teen, but never lit a fire under it.
I traced the fin pattern off my computer screen, used an inaccurate nose cone I had sitting around, 3 different Rattle can types; Krylon primer, O.S.H. gloss white, Rust-o-leum Spa blue. Pre-printed 1" vinyl stickers from Michaels, scissors cut vinyl decal squares, and lastly, built her to fly on A-B-C, rather than the original D class.
It's certainly not totally accurate, or exacting, but I'm happy/content with the result. When funds don't allow for the original, or even to piece together all the original specs, you get creative and save a buck.
(I still want an original
)
