After getting the bug after a 20+ year exit stepping into some kits I have missed.
I recall my cousin having the original Centuri and launching it with my plastic army men in the payload.
Kit comes pretty standard with Laser cut balsa. Was the original pre-cut?
Not a fan of the solid color chute. Would love the classic Centuri checkerboard pattern...

Overall the kit is very straight forward and a simple finish.
Simple two piece system glued down on wax paper.

Attached the fins and did all rounding of leading edges while on the tube.
First time using EWF instead of sanding sealer.... We will see how it comes out. But I am not a fan of all the drywall dust it creates.. 400 grit was used on the fins

It was not lumpy - almost like thinned paint. Suggestions?
