Estes Thor Agena Build Part 26 The Real Thor Agena B

Brian Coyle and Chas Russell sent me some great pictures of the Thor Agena B.
These pictures give a better idea of what the back end looked like.

The nozzle is a bell shape, not the straight edged shroud in the Estes kit.
The horizontal bands have a raised "bead". The flat bands (2 and 3 from the bottom) are flat and thicker bands like on the Estes cardstock shroud print.




Here's a side view of the turbine exhaust.
The low angled side (lower left) looks to a a straight cut and not a curve like shown in the instructions.

And, the vernier housing.
It's a much more complex shape than what I've made.

The turbine exhaust and nozzle look to be more of a aluminum color than silver.
The instructions have you paint the small nozzles black.
