Brief:
T' Estes Astron Phantom was produced betwixt 1973-1996. This particular rocket be never meant t' fly. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! Instead is be 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:
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. Arrr! It wasn't enough t' destroy it, but if I had used any more plastic cement, me bucko, shiver me timbers, I could have really done some real damage t' t' molded engine face.
Finishing:
T' only finishin' involves paintin' t' engine face brown, black, shiver me timbers, me hearties, and orange. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Other than that, no finishin' be required.
Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
