Vintage Estes Falcon Commander Build

[SCIGS30]

I have had a busy summer so building has slowed way down. I have a little free time so my next build is the Estes Falcon Commander, looks nice a cool rocket and should be a fun build. The package came with 2 parachutes, instructions only call for 1.

It is a fun build. I just finished a clone.

The build was straight forward out of the bag, typical Estes diecrushed balsa. I sealed the balsa with 3 coats of Brodak balsa sealer and shot a coat of primer. Tomorrow I will paint the old Krylon Glossy White.

Here she is all painted with old formula Krylon white. I will be busy the next few days, but will then apply the old decals.....Once again I love the brodak sealer

Here she is all done, the old vintage decals went on without any issues.
