Rocketarium Hydra Sandhawk Build Part 1, Parts
A while back, Rocketarium came out with a LOT of scale kits!
Most are BT-60 based kits and feature a new ogive plastic nose cone.
Parts are of good quality:
Centering rings are laser cut plywood
The balsa fins stock is hard and stiff. (Newer kits have pre-cut fins)
Parts of interest: (clockwise from left)
Large tri-fold shock cord mount
Clay weight
Plastic nose cone
Adjustable size parachute, 15", 12' and 9". 1 mil, red ink over clear
Two wide spring steel engine hooks
Fin attachment stickers (I'll redraw and make water slide decals)
Fin Mounting Attachments (cardstock)
Fin Patterns (Center)
The instructions lack an exploded drawing.
David Stribling drew it up HERE
Check out the PDF link in the first post.
Other posts answer questions about paint patterns.
This was an early edition of the kit with fins you cut out yourself. The kit now includes pre-cut fins.
My instructions were only four pages long with limited illustrations. The instructions have now been expanded and improved. Online I found six pages of instructions with more illustrations.
