Estes - Gauchito #0809

[kuririn]

Another Ansari X prize contender.
Mini engine powered.
Apparently some people have kit bashed this into Apollo LJ IIs.
The capsule is Apollo shaped but the fins looks more like the Mercury Little Joe's.
And the body is a little long.

I scanned the decals on mine, cleaned them up a little, and made waterslides. This is a surprisingly good small field performer.

Never heard of this rocket, but I may have to pick one up, as my wife is Argentine.

The kit is OOP, but it pops up from time to time on EBay.
