Clear Body Rocket?


























Cutaway display models were brought up on YORF and I remembered this gem at JimZs website: CLICK HERE

A clear ST-10 body with a ST-5 stuffer tube inside.
I especially like the spiral decor on the model on the right under "Construction Tips".
It was the second place winner in a 1968 Centuri design contest.
Just food for thought!

    Thank you for posting the Laser-244 plans. I had been wanting to build something like this since I saw the design concept pictured in the 1973 Centuri catalog. Another possibility is lighting the clear tube.
