A classic Estes kit, everybody has one in the build pile.
The model shown above is the rebuild of one of the first kits I built when getting back into the hobby.
I wanted to refinish with opaque white paint and water slide decals. "Real" decals certainly look better than the kit supplied stickers.
This one has squared fin edges, the new build is identical except has rounded leading edges.
Thanks for this series, Chris. I have one in my build-pile - but with the terrible stick-on decals. I really need to get myself some waterslide decal paper...
ReplyDeleteHi Ray,
ReplyDeleteThanks!
If you want a PDF of the decals I drew up, send a request to:

I make no guarantee the decals are scale, just close enough and better than the stick ons.
