Big Girtha Rebuild Part 1 Parts


To rebuild the Big Girtha I'll be using parts from a Quest Big Betty kit bought on Ebay.

This kit is older, most all the parts are great quality.
The die-cut fins were a bit rough, typical of most cut fins when the blades get dull.
The nose cone has minor seams and the white plastic has some streaks in it.
Parts of interest, clockwise from the top:
The stick-on "decal" name is HUGE! I'm not a big fan of the type font.

The shroud lines are pre-cut and very thick.
The "Gripper" shroud line fasteners are die cut Tyvek.
The engine hook is interesting. The upper bend goes over the top of the yellow engine mount tube hooking over the top of the engine block. The engine hook is spring steel and doesn't easily bend.
