Reimagined Estes Explorer

From the Facebook Estes Model Rocket page:
Jack Hydrazine posted pictures of a build by Burton John Larson:


"I built a reimagined Estes Explorer with a wide fuselage."

The original kit is on the left, the custom Explorer is on the right.
The wide body is carried through the nose cone! The changes look much better than the original design!

Maybe somebody knows -
Was that nose cone on the left ever used in any other Estes kit?

  1. According to the Estes Nose Cone references I have it was only used on that one kit, unless they did it recently.

    1. Thanks JHall!
      I couldn't remember seeing that nose cone on any other designs.
