Estes Maxi-Brute Honest John (Kit #1269), Part 1, Parts






The BIG parts - 

The BT-80 body tube
The tail cone and lower half of the nose cone
The upper end of the nose cone. 


Two new Centering Rings (See the next post to see why I made new centering rings.)

BT-50 engine tube and stuffer tube

The vacu-form fins with nose cone spin rocket nacelles. 
These sheets were cut half to fit into the smaller box.


Stickers!
I'll come up with something better than the thick, glossy stickers.
These parts weren't usable and will be replaced - 
1/4" wide elastic shock cord
Engine Block
3/16" launch lug
1/8" thick balsa for the launch clip/lug details. I'll make those parts out of basswood.

Not shown:
Two 24" parachutes
1/16" basswood
