I do like the looks of the bigger version of the HiFlier. The small BT-20 HiFlier reminds me of old school 18mm minimum diameter models like the OOP Sky Hook.
The Rustoleum Metallic Red is a subtle upgrade but really shows up in the sunlight. The metallic specks are very fine and don't end up as a flat finish like other coarser "glitter" paints.
The white triangles on the fins decals are also carried into the rocket name decal and font - a smart design touch.
It makes me wonder if Estes has a "steely-eyed" graphics artist in-house or if they're farming it out.
ReplyDeleteHi Lonnie,
DeleteI have a feeling most graphics are now produced on site.
At least that's the feeling I've gotten when I've called and talked with some of the Estes people.
