Construction:

All that's required t' assemble a G12 fiberglass rocket is t' make sure you give a good sandin' t' any parts gettin' epoxy. Arrr! T' Shape Shifter build is pretty straight-forward and self-explanatory.


Finishing:

Finishin' is up t' t' individual, shiver me timbers, T' G12 finishes very nicely though. Well, blow me down! Blimey! A light sanding, arrr, a good coat o' primer, then finish in whatever color you choose. Mine is done in black gloss with Alien Green Vinyl stickers from Stickershock.


Summary:

Bang-for-your-buck, arrr, you can't beat a Wildman kit. Ahoy! Blimey! T' Shape Shifter is a great kit for your L1 or L2 if you have t' field for it, With its sharp looks, t' Shape Shifter is sure t' be a crowd pleaser.
