NCR Bomarc repair question

Hello everyone. I was helping a friend clean out his storage trailer. He drug out this rocket and said it was given to him many years ago.
Looks like a Estes North Coast kit that was built stock. Never flown. The nacelles support is loose and the plastic skin is de laminated.

So the questions are. What adhesive to glue the skin back on. And does someone have a pdf file of the instructions. I will try to attach some pictures. Warning I am new to this kind of posting. Thanks.
Mike

It looks more like the Bt55 Estes version going by the background. The NCR was a 3" dia. which went OOP right after I became a BAR and missed out on.

Yes it is 3” diameter. Must be about 15 years old. Was going to fly at local launch on a G. But it may be too heavy. I put it on a scale and it is 1308 grams without recovery or motor.

It's not too heavy for a G64 or a G76. Stability is another question.
Probably get about 5-600' altitude.

Here's a previous thread about NCR bomarc plans.

Check with @Brent to see if he still has them.

If you still need the plans, I can send to you.
The damage you pictured there is typical. There is little support for the ram jets/standoffs built as instructed. I used triangle balsa and 30-minute epoxy on both sides of the standoffs inside the main BT. Built as instructed, the weight of the model will cause the joint to crack, unless it's reinforced. 3 lbs landing on the ram jets on recovery is brutal to those standoffs.

I used 30-minute epoxy on the vacuum-formed wings as well, for assembly and attachment.
I used it for the whole build.

Thanks for the information. I did get a copy of the instructions and it explains a lot of why the parts are de laminated.

Repair will include epoxy injected under the plastic. And a reinforcement inside the main tube for the supports. I also plan on adding to the stuffer tube to reduce chances of lawn darts. Seems like too much volume for standard ejection charges.

I'm using 2x 36" chutes for mine, and they kick out every time. I use AT single use G80-4 or G79-4, usually. No worries.
