Rocketarium Hydra Sandhawk Finished



I was happy with the build and look of the finished Hydra Sandhawk.
This BT-60 based model is tall and impressive.
The nose cone mask was a challenge but turned out well.

The staging on this one is different with a 24mm D in the booster and a 18mm engine in the sustainer.
The small booster fins require almost one ounce of clay in the nose cone for stability.

I didn't care for the supplied peel and stick decals. When set in place the gray boltheads were almost translucent. These decals weren't difficult to draw up and print at home.
This kit did have some masking and paint challenges, as most scale models do.
Down the road I'd like to try a build of the Rocketarium Jayhawk.
