I made this with Semroc parts before they kitted it. The roll pattern was (tediously) cut from black decal paper.

That looks great. Centuri had some unique designs that I was always interested in.

First flight wasn't kind to it. Broke a fin and the booster landed in a puddle. The stages never fit right after that, but it still looked great.
