Semroc Cherokee D Build Part 1, Parts

This was a favorite, I'd built the Estes original in the early 1970s.
The BT-55 tube is strong. It's a clean design with plenty of decals.
I don't think it was ever launched with a D engine though. Mainly B6 and C6 engines.

This build will be a little different.
It's standard construction - I'll be concentrating on posting build TIPS
I'll also be keeping track of how much time it takes for each step.

Here's the parts:
Great Semroc Quality
Three 1/8" thick fins
12" parachute. The original kit had an 18" chute)
It seems like Estes was always including a larger parachute than what was really needed.
Most other parts are standard

The parts of interest:
Great profile shape of the BNC-55AC nose cone
BIG decal sheet, lots of pieces crowded on a half page
The 5055 centering rings are cut from thick white stock.
On the lower right is the 20/50 engine mount for 18mm engines.
One ring is already cleanly split for the engine hook movement.

BUILD TIME: Opening bag, taking pictures = 10 minutes
