Brief:
T' Estes Astron Phantom be produced betwixt 1973-1996. Ya scallywag! This particular rocket be never meant t' fly. 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. Ya scallywag! Ahoy! It wasn't enough t' destroy it, matey, 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, black, me bucko, and orange. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Other than that, matey, no finishin' was 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. Ya scallywag! It also can be used t' teach a new rocketeer how t' correctly insert waddin' and pack and insert a parachute.
