Estes Space Ship One, Kit # 2191, Finished


This one was a build adventure!
It took too much work to round out the nozzle for the BT-20 engine tube to slide through. 



Here's the underside of the model.
Definitely different than the standard 3FNC rocket.








The top side of the nose cone with all the round windows.


From the back you can imagine where the fins could break on a hard landing.

A few bumps along the way, the build was a good  exercise in problem solving.

  1. Well done Chris. The water slide decals give it a much more professional made look. I'm sure it will fly nicely.

    1. Thanks Leo!
      I didn't even try the stickers - I knew they wouldn't stay down.
