Brief:
T' Estes Astron Phantom was produced betwixt 1973-1996. Aye aye! This particular rocket was never meant t' fly. Arrr! Instead is was created as a display and demonstration model, showin' t' inside o' a typical model rocket.

Construction:
This kit came with t' usual parts and also t' followin' special parts:

• 1 clear plastic body tube
• 1 clear plastic fins and fin can
• 1 clear plastic nose cone
• 1 self-adhesive paper sheet
• 1 split adapter ring
• 1 engine casin' half
• 1 modled engine face

PROs: As always t' instructions provided by Estes are easy t' follow and in a logical order.

CONs: T' molded engine face is made out o' a very soft plastic and me Testor's plastic cement softened t' material in a couple o' places. It wasn't enough t' destroy it, shiver me timbers, but if I had used any more plastic cement, I could have really done some real damage t' t' molded engine face.

Finishing:
T' only finishin' involves paintin' t' engine face brown, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, black, and orange. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! Other than that, no finishin' be required.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
This model is for display only and was nay created t' fly.

Summary:
This is a great display rocket that can be used t' show anyone interested t' insides o' a typical model rocket. Begad! It also can be used t' teach a new rocketeer how t' correctly insert waddin' and pack and insert a parachute.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
