Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane Part 2, Parts


There is a long thick tube, 1" diameter.
It is only used to help bond the aeroshoud adhesive tape later in the build.

The vacu-form canopy is well molded, but the nose cone doesn't have a sharp edge at the base.
Toss that bending engine hook!


After 19 years of storage, the rolled aeroshroud stock is almost wrinkled.
This'll take a little bit of dry ironing and an overnight stay in a heavy book.



I never quite understood the parachute "Gripper" tabs in the older Quest kits. They do hold well but are hard to pack into 20mm tubes.
