Great retro style rocket
This is a great kit! Good sized, not too challenging to put together (trimming & adding pods are the only non-standard part of the build), and looks great in flight. Not just a favorite of mine, but a lot of folks at the Club I fly with like it too. I painted it with a color shift metallic paint that looks great. I bought another of this oop kit just in case something happens to my first one.
