New Kit Prototype - Odd'l Rockets F-17, Part 2, Canopy



Draw, adjust, then draw and adjust again.
The first tries were too square and didn't fit the contour of the nose cone. It took six revisions to get a good fit.








To glue on the canopy it was traced and the paint scraped off the already painted nose cone.









The rocket has already flown once with a B6-4. It was sprayed white overall. It was just a test flight before I took the time to draw up the decals.

  1. Will you be in Oviedo this weekend with this? I would love to see it fly. Then, of course, I will have to buy one, if it goes into production.

    1. Hi Steve,
      I should be at the ROCK launch on Saturday. It'll be prepped with a B6-4 for that field. Then maybe Bunnell with the BIG C6-5.
