Estes Mini Arcas, #2441, Finished

I built and masked the original BT-55 version of the ARCAS.

To be honest, this BT-20 version wasn't a fun build.

The small balsa fin support pieces are hard to form out of balsa. 1/16" thick fins don't allow you to sand a diamond taper. 

The red color mask was difficult on the downsize model.

Here's the upper end and nose cone showing the mask.

The ARCAS is a sleek rocket with a great looking red/white job.

I wish it were the original, easier to detail and paint BT-55 size.
