On the Estes Page for new it looks like the Der Big Red Max was built or computer generated incorrectly. There is no red gap between the wrap around decal and nose cone. Looks like the box it comes in has the correct image. https://estesrockets.com/product/009721-der-big-red-max/
Hi Scott, The Big Red Max illustrations were computer generated. I've always set the wrap decal with a band of red showing at the lip of the body tube. If you look at the original instructions from the 1970s, that red band looks to be about 3/16" wide. http://www.spacemodeling.org/jimz/estes/kc-2ad.png
The Piglet-sus has been an interesting build but what’s coming next looks like something completely different!
ReplyDeleteHi Openroad,
DeleteIt is VERY different!
