XPrize Vanguard for 18 mm

[SteveNeill]

About 10 years back I made the capsule for the Dr. Zooch Vanguard. I stumbled over the capsule recently. I was sure what it was for it had been that long. What I have it the master and tomorrow I'll make a new mold of the master. It is my plan to build the Vanguard.

From what I can tell he never made the kit. I always liked the design and hey! I have the capule molds I made.

I never realized Estes use to make one.

More tomorrow.


The Vanguard capsule is to the left of the V-2 masters. It's highly detailed with panel lines and windows.

Steve,
Wes released it as a limited production kit. It was a two stager. Chris M did a build on his blog about 8 years ago, you may want to review it for some info:https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com/2011/01/dr-zooch-vanguard-eagle-build-part-1.html

I have the Estes kit in my build pile.
Cheers.
