Wow! Has everyone seen the new BT-80 29mm 3-D printed Honest John Kit? I may be the most devoted lover of the HoJo design in the rocketry hobby--and clearly have a problem with over a dozen of them in my fleet. But this one is going to make a great edition.
It has amazing detail, and fits perfectly on an Estes BT-80 body tube. Even better, you can order just the fin can section to make it easier to build the Estes Maxi-Brute model, without having to struggle with the vacuum form fins.

They are running a November special for this new kit, only $100. Fin can only available for $50 dollars. I have no financial connection with the company, just big fans of this mom and pop rocketry shop.
Here are some details from their web site:
Our BT-80 Honest John “Builders Kit” is the easy way to build a beautiful 36.33″ tall 1/9th scale flying model of the US Army’s first unguided surface-to-surface nuclear capable rocket. Powered by a 29mm model rocket motor (no permit or certification needed) this model will turn heads at any rocket launch. Our HoJo “Builders Kit” comes with the following quality 3D printed ABS parts:
We know that some of our customers just want the fin can so they can finally build and fly their Estes maxi Honest John kit without dealing with the vacu-formed fins and the whimpy performance using the original “D” motor. We can just sell you the fin can during this promotion for $50.00 + $12.00 shipping (regular retail is $65.00).
