Estes Vanguard Eagle, Kit # 2193, Finished
This kit was a big disappointment. Too much plastic on the fin can, poorly fitting adapter sticker and very difficult masking on the rounded rear engine tops.
The small capsule nozzles are almost too small to be noticed. I had a hard of a time holding onto them. They were left off the model.
The model weighs in at 3.3 oz. without engine. Too heavy! I'm glad Estes is not producing stuff like this anymore!

Well, your finished build looks nice. The Q-Jet C and D motors should give this thing a good ride!
ReplyDeleteDoes look good! But your evaluation of the kit caused me to delay getting this kit from sandman. And now it’s gone, so I cannot change my mind... :-)
