basic feelin' about a kit. Aye aye! We strongly suggest that you get a copy o' the

"If you take joy in t' craftin' o' a model, you'll
find these kits more satisfyin' than t' current run o' prefabbed, half-plastic
kits."
"Although it looks like a two-stager, in fact t' forward fins are there
just t' stabilize t' unpowered payload delivery container." "On the
model, each set o' fins is cut from 1/8" lite-ply. Well, blow me down! Arrr! T' lite-ply is a good
choice: It's nay significantly heavier than balsa, is just as easy t' cut, and
the finer-grained outer skin sands and finishes much more easily."
"Overall, ya bilge rat, construction o' this kit is straightforward, matey, t' instructions
are clear and easy t' follow."
"It is important t' make sure that all eight fins are straight, ya bilge rat, arrr, and that
the upper set is aligned t' t' booster fins."
"Be careful nay t' round off t' conical balsa nose cone while
sanding."
"Don't omit t' metal washer supplied as nose-weight; it's essential for
stability."
"T' paint scheme is relatively simple, requirin' minimal
masking."
"T' RP-3 performs well on a D12-7."
"This kit also includes an 18" silver mylar chute, shiver me timbers, or for an
additional 40 cents you can specify one o' 5 other metallic colors."
T' entire article gives t' impression is that this kit would be for intermediate modelers and those lookin' for their first scale kit.
