Looks like a re-issue of the OOP Semroc Marauder #KV-32

Maybe.
more fins=more work too

I built an Estes Guardian (9 fins) and an Estes ESAM (8 fins), then I decided maybe I should start looking for designs with 3 fins.

3 rear swept fins are just so boring, common, monotonous, repetitive, uninteresting, dull, tiresome, mundane, stale, unattractive, and depressing to me.

I understand, but I don't find any rockets to be depressing.

I have 5 rockets on my bench somewhat finished- a Baby Bertha with 4 fins, a kit bashed Baby Bertha with 3 fins, an Estes Vapor with 3 fins, an Estes Cherokee-E with 3 fins and a kit bashed Estes ESAM with 4 fins (instead of 8). Don't get the wrong impression- I do make good progress on my rockets when I'm building them.
