SCALE - Atlas V Gallery

This my beta build of a forthcoming kit of the Atlas V-500 and -400

Anyway



I modified it to fly on a cluster of 2 18mm model Estes engines.

One of the rockets I really wanted to fly was my camera Atlas, with the drop
off boosters. It's a 4 motor cluster. Two 18 mm C6-5s in the main body. And
an 13 mm A10-3T in each of the boosters. I had the camera facing one of the
boosters to catch it falling away. I think it would look better if I had place the
camera facing between both boosters. Even though the A10-3Ts came from
the same package, it's easy to see the differences in the ejections. :cyclops:

I have always like the Atlas, and this was my first attempt at building one of the
newer ones. Since I was only going for a sport scale look, I didn't really dig to
get a great deal of specs. Just a few pics, and I was off. The only problem
was I only found photos of one side. Thinking that both sides would be
symmetrical, I put two boosters on each side, for a total of four. There should
only be three.:y:
