Here is another vintage Estes kit built out of the bag, finished in 3 days. This is a simple build but actually produces a nice looking rocket. I kept with my KISS methods of building. Built per the plans with simple white glue. Balsa sealed with 2 coats of Brodak balsa sealer then after an hour sanded nice and smooth. I sealed the fins and built the rocket in the first day. Of course this is a classic die cut kit, so I had to spend some time cleaning up the rough balsa. Next day I shot Krylon Acryli Quik Gloss white with no primer. Next day I masked the white and sprayed Krylon gloss black followed by the decals.
