When I built my Maxi-Alpha III in 1984, the only part I painted was the nose cone.
I flew it for many years with D12/E10 motors and retired it after the stuffer tube burned through.
Estes really should bring the MA back. It will help them sell thousands of additional D12-3 and E9-4 motors. The MA would be perfect for Michaels.
That's a damn good call.
I did pickup an Executioner and some upscaled Alpha III decals from Excelsior last year so I think that will be the one to spend the time to finish properly.
Thanks Mikus... I had a lot of stuff to do today. Now I'm jumping head first into THIS project!
Decals done, thanks Ye Olde Rocket Plans!
Darn... but the fins are not the right shape...
D'oh! That will teach me to reveal my seekret plans too early.... I guess that's a case of premature apogee.
J/K! Glad somebody thinks that's as cool of a project as I thought it would be. I'll get around to mine sometime; so many rockets, so little time.
Be sure to post pics please.
