Custom PONG Build Part 1, Parts

EDIT: This one is a challenge!
The face card lists this as a Skill Level of 3. The Custom website mentions a Skill Level of 4 but no listed models have that level. This borders on the Master Modeler's Level 4, maybe a level 3 1/2.
For a smaller "T" engine kit this build took a LOT of time. To paint it like the facecard you have to build and fill in subassemblies.
If you are looking for a inexpensive challenge, add this one to your want list! It's an impressive  design.

I bought two of the Custom P.O.N.G. kits on Ebay at a pretty good price.
Shipping was cheap! There was a reason why.
The kits were shipped in a padded envelope, no box! Most all the body tubes were crimped and bent.
Luckily I have extra tubes and cut some new ones to size.

For a 13mm "T" engine model, this one is detailed.
Lots of tubes and some very small BT-5 couplers.

The parts of interest:
A 65 lb. paper shroud (I'll scan and print more on heavier stock)
The pink streamer (maybe a 6" parachute might be better)
The ping pong ball nose cone
8 (yes, eight) 5/50 centering rings
Two yellow BT-50 sized tubes. These look like the thinner BT-50 pre-colored tubes that come on some RTF models.





Three stick on decal sheets.
The model is interesting enough without the decals, but these will really dress it up.
