I started building this rocket back in the 1990s when I was a teenager...  Life took a few too many wild turns, but now that I'm 32 years old and back into rocketry, I finished the kit (in 2014) and painted in rather distinctly (seeing as how I lost the decals anyway).  Ironic that the rocket that brought me back to rocketry after years of bumpy living is named the "Phoenix."  Reborn from the ashes, indeed...
