COOL retro model with a three engine cluster!
Lessons learned:
Look and read ahead in the instructions. The decal hitting the upper launch lug could have been avoided by gluing the lug higher up.
If I checked the finishing instructions the payload section would have been painted aluminum before the adapters were glued together.
Double check the wrap on the decals before soaking them in water.
Two of the wraps didn't quite make it around the tubes.
The larger white fins didn't match up to the long white strips as well as I would have liked.
But, I couldn't see any other way to pre-paint and glue it together afterwards.
The old Centuri catalogs say it'll launch up to 3 oz. of payload. Considering there's less than 1/2 oz. of clay, I might fly this with B6-6 and C6-7 engines instead of the recommended B6-4 and C6-5s.
