I just got done building a somewhat modified FlisKits L-13. I've really been fascinated by Robert Goddard's work. My goal - build a flyable close to scale model of the L-13. I'm still downloading all the build photos.
Some of the key changes from the kit:
Added (hopefully) flight-strength steering and blast vanes
Added wrap for the steel band and an access panel (per L-13 drawings found)
Added external tubes (per L-13 drawings found)
I spent nearly as long on the paint job as the build. And I spent about twice as much (or more) on paint than the rocket.
