I sure would like to see ESTES bring this one back. Maybe this year.

Nice! Thinking of scratch building one. I want it to drop the half stage! What did you use to get the shiny aluminum?

 

[billeblurzz]

The shiny aluminum are tape strips that come with the kit and take a considerable amount of care to apply.

Beautiful job!! That’s a great kit.

Thanks for the compliments! If Estes ever reissues this I may actually fly it!

It’s surprising how light this model is!
