One of my kits made the Top 10 - How can that happen?
The kit is better than the decals I bought online. The narrow yellow Ebay decals had to be pieced together.
The latest in the Estes Designer Series.
A great square tube kit from New Way.
I've always liked the original Estes Invader design, I like this one a little more.
2. Estes EAC VIPER Upscale
This was trickier than I initially thought. It did require complete redraws of the decals. I had to try a few different spray colors on the nose cone to match the decals. The old instructions say to use purple, but Ace Tropical Pink was the best.
And, the Number One build for 2023 -
Centuri QUASAR clone
The ramjet engines on the fin tips were built up from spare parts.
The full red on the fins required double layers of the home print decals to match the paint color density.
The picture above shows the single layer decals.
My Mother always liked this design, it reminded her of the Buck Rogers ship.
BT-60 based, a good size and detailed demo model.
This year, only 16 rocket builds.
The 2023 launches totaled only 32. Not many, but ten more flights than in 2022!
