Is It Just Me?




Or does anybody else see something else in rocket designs?


Every time I see the Estes Scorpion -




It reminds me of a running Greyhound.
That's probably why I didn't buy the kit.

  1. Look a bit like a Klingon Bird-of-Prey. Mostly in the wing...

    1. Hi Scott,
      Your are right! Maybe that's where Mr. Boren got the wing shape.

  3. There is a real aircraft that was named Bird of Prey
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Bird_of_Prey
    (though it bears no resemblance to the fictitious spacecraft from Star Trek, being a technology demonstrator for stealth technology it is somewhat similar to the fictitious craft equipped with a "cloaking device" for stealth).

    As for me, I had no problem with the shape - what was somewhat off-putting (for me) was the fluorescent green colour. I'll likely paint it a different colour.
