Semroc V2 Build, Finished















The V2 was the first kit I was attracted to looking through that first Estes catalog in 1969. I've built a few larger ones since then.
When this build was started a few years ago, a Kevlar loop was attached to the tail cone. I ended up using a tri-fold mount and some 1/8" wide elastic for a shock cord. A 12" Odd'l Rockets parachute was tied on.

This was a tough mask, made harder because the model is smaller.
Those diagonal strips should have been a little narrower. I'm leaving it as is.
The number "47" decals are yet to be made. The 47s go on the fins in the white horizontal bars.
The finished look is interesting and different from the paint patterns usually seen.
