Estes Gauchito Build #1279 OOP, Part 1, Parts

Parts is parts!

This is a little more than a 4FNC model.
Parts are good, but I'll be upgrading some things.

Lonnie B. told me the main module tube.tube is a BT-58, the same diameter as the 1/100 Saturn V service module tube.

Parts of interest:
This kit had one of the "spider web" print parachutes.
Stickers! I hate stickers!
The Apollo capsule style nose cone and base.
Nozzle plate and four nozzles for display, not for flight.
The balsa was laser cut, the centering rings are old die-cut style.
Engine hook with a finger tab. Finger tab? Not on my rockets!
