MPC Cadet Cruiser, Part 1 Parts

Here's another of the MPC Round 2 kits.
These are not the older MPC rockets from the late 1960s but relabeled Sky model rockets from China.
Sky also makes the engines imported and relabeled by Quest.

I bought this one on Ebay, a "Buy It Now" for $4.80, too good to pass up. I was a big Looney Tunes fan and thought I'd give it a shot. This'll be a quick build.

The package box is bright and seems small considering the rocket when built is over 17" tall.  

Check out the "Compatible" engines - Estes or Quest
A8-3, B8-3, C6-5
I've never seen a B8-3 engine.

This looks to be the same model sold through Apogee as the Sky Eagle with Porky Pig graphics. CLICK HERE

Here's the parts - 
Four plastic fins
Pre-wrapped graphic on a convolutely (not spiral) wound tube.
Convolutely wound is like the old BT-30 or how you might roll a tube from a sheet of paper around a dowel.
A too short elastic shock cord
A very thin paper tri-fold mount
A BIG 18" parachute, too large for this sized model
Fin stickers
Instructions and a NAR membership flyer

Parts of interest:
The engine mount tube is just 2 1/4" long, also convolutely wound.
It's thin like a BT-20 but stiffer and stronger.

The fins are thin! The inset picture was taken outside to be back lit. You can see the light through the thin outside edge.






The nose cone is blow molded plastic.
The surface is smooth but with a "pebbled" texture.

The model is shades of purple with a yellow fin can.
