Great rocket kit
Great rocket kit. Only one flaw- it was missing a piece of body tube that would be used to make the "fin can" section. I contacted Rocketarium and they sent me a new piece. Bravo! Rocketarium! It's finished now in the red and white scheme and looks very nice.

Well engineered
A very nice kit. Well engineered with very nice CAD instructions and an available video link to aid in the build. An impressive model.
