The parts were in very good shape. I've seen these models on Ebay where the builder has roughed up the metal body to attach the fin rails.
The only missing part was the timer/separator segment. The 1" long part had a gripper "spring" that held the parachute tube in place once the lower tank was pressurized. Does anyone have a spare Vashon Separator? If I can't find one, I'll use a 1" long aluminum tube to simulate it.
I'll get into more detail on the parts in the next few posts.
