Estes Honest John, #7240 Build, Finished




As kits go, this was a good one.
Impressive size but still manageable on a display shelf.

I made two, the better on is up for bids on Ebay. The other Honest John will be part of my active fleet.

The center band has rounder holes, worth the extra time it took to punch it out.








The nose cone was very well molded. The kit supplied decals really set it off.



Here's how the Estes Engine Retainer (included in the kit) fits onto the back end.
On a forum post, John Boren said he designed it so the model will stand on the tube end with the outer ring removed. Remove the ring for display, screw it on for flight.
