It was my wife's idea (the paint), honest! Tried to do the best I could with rattle cans and a cheap Testor's airbrush.
Just finished this up. Parts from rocketarium and scaled to BT80 sized Estes Big Daddy dimensions. 3x18mm mount. Plywood rings, papered balsa fins. Kevlar cord passes through the motor mount to loop around a motor tube and cinch down with a screw/washer. Expecting that cord to take some abuse. Probably need some nomex for it... Should look absolutely ridiculous on take-off
