This model was designed by Shrox when he was working for Quest. It was featured on the 2010 Quest Catalog cover with two ES-1 Escort models.
It's a larger model to be flown with 18mm engines.
On any larger model over two feet tall, I usually convert them for 24mm engines.
This model is 23" long with large wing fins and many details.
The motor mount, shock cords and dowel details are in a single bag.
Parts of interest:
The large Intake Tube was out of round. This probably happened during storage or shipping. It's almost two inches in diameter and shouldn't be hard to reshape.
The seams (see inset) are another story. The seams are wide and deep.
"The future of Presidential transport! Another visionary design by SHROX. Two big decal sheets (we couldn't fit them all on one!) really make this rocket a visual dazzler! Slow impressive lift-offs with B6-4 and C6-3 motors."
I was a little disappointed, expecting water slide decals. But, I understand the reasons behind the stick-ons. The big blue trim decals would be very hard to use if they were water slides.
The two sheets have a few wrinkles. I might scan these and print out some water slide decals.
