Centuri Screaming Eagle Build, Part 2, Parts

I wouldn't normally do two posts on the parts alone, but this model is important. This was the first rocket for many.

The white tubes and launch lugs have browned up on the ends.
This is typical for an older white tube kit. Maybe it's just the brown tube color bleeding through the thin white outer layer?

The inset picture shows the clean punch for the top of the engine hook.
The notch is clean, obviously punched out, years before laser cutting was used.


The fin can is slightly warped, it might have been at the bottom of the box with other parts on top of it.
It's not bad, maybe some light steaming will correct it.



Looking inside the can you can see the raised ribs for a tight fit over the ST-8 tubing.

The notch to the upper right is for the engine hook movement.
