Vashon Valkyrie II, Finished













I finally got a Vashon Valkyrie II! Every rocketeer has a model from their past they want to rebuild. This was fun and brought back a lot of memories.
I'll pick up a separator/timer somewhere down the Ebay road. For now the simulated upper parachute section works for me.
Thanks again to Doug Frost for sending me the model!

    Nice work Chris! Excellent looking model. I'm betting there are not too many other folks in the world that have a fully operational original Vashon model rocket in their fleet.

      Hi Ed,
      Well, it's not a functional rocket - I'm missing the timer/separator section. It does look like my original.

    Well done Chris!

    Hope you find a timer/separator to complete the model!

      Thanks Leo!
      It'll show up - every month there's some Vashon thing on Ebay.
