This has been one I have wanted to build for awhile and decided to build it today. This is an older kit and the parts are pretty good except for one balsa sheet. The balsa sheet started 3/32 at one end and tapered down to 1/16 at the other end making it unusable. I called Estes and they sent out a brand new laser cut balsa sheet.
I did not take pictures of the build since there are plenty of builds posted that are pretty detailed. I built this per the plans except I attached the Nose while doing the paper sheeting to make for a better fit. Everything went together well except the Nose does not really blend into the fuselage, oh well I can live with it. Tomorrow I will brush on balsa sealer and get ready for priming.
