This little Testors very inexpensive 1/72nd kit (if you can still find them). Worked out to be a very nifty little 14mm/13mm rear eject motor pod model that drags the little 10" chute out as the pod is ejected.
Pretty stright forward conversion with the added bonus of not having to cut the body apart to create a nosecone. Some care needs to be taken in making the music wire ejection yoke and getting the tubes to slide easily but once operation I've had no trouble at all flying this model on A10-3T getting good altitude and really neat looking tangling recoveries.
