Futuristic style rocket with fancy fins arrangement and very cool nose cone. Assembly be a little more involved than most kits because o' t' fins. Avast! Well, me bucko, blow me down! Otherwise, ya bilge rat, easy and straight forward. Ya scallywag! Arrr! I finished t' rocket like t' package except I used metallic aluminum instead o' light gray. I used Testors enamel for t' red portions. Avast, me proud beauty! Fillin' and sandin' all fins gave me smooth and clean surfaces t' paint. Avast! T' decals really make t' kit an eye-catcher. Avast, me proud beauty! This rocket is destined t' become another o' me favorite rockets that should get a lot o' attention at t' field. I have flow t' Nimbus, me hearties, usually only on smaller engines with BIG Parachutes so it lands softttt! I really love this rocket and it always gets attention when I put it on t' pad. Begad! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! An A8-3 is a little on t' smallish side for this rocket, arrr, arrr, but B6-4 and C6-5's are great. Begad! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! Nice straight no roll boost (I may have a picture soon o' liftoff :-) T' only problem I have had is with its age. I put a lot o' work into paintin' and finishing. No BT Spirals BUT now I think because o' its age t' rocket ie "yellowing" ?? where t' spirals are right through t' many many layers o' paint and clear coat. This stinks but it is nay "that" bad!
