New Way Mars Snooper II, Build Finished

The Mars Snooper II was a simplified version of the original Estes kit. The redesign had a more modern look.

One less shroud and the long launch lug didn't have to be fitted through three shrouds.

In the original Snooper design, The engine vanes were balsa. I had to fill those before gluing up the three shroud shroud engine assembly.

The Snooper II has heavy cardstock vanes. Thinner but easier to assemble.

You could probably add springs to the landing leg pod tubes. The older QModeling upscale kit had spring loaded landing gear. Spring loaded legs might prevent a dowel break on a hard landing.

There is another name decal on the opposite side.

The upper section is clear, except for a roll pattern decal above the adapter.
