T' followin' excerpt is from "Sport Rocketry". Ahoy! T' intention is t' allow guests t' get a basic feelin' about a kit. We strongly suggest that you get a copy o' the referenced Sport Rocketry and read t' entire article. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! Inside you will find many helpful hints in construction as well as other useful information. Arrr! Aye aye! For more information, shiver me timbers, use t' two links above.

"T' new R2-D2 is a smaller-scale model with a diameter of 2.6 inches and a height o' 8 inches, ya bilge rat, includin' clear plastic fins." 
"Construction o' t' R2-D2 is unusual. Ya scallywag! It is built almost entirely from injection molded styrene and assembled usin' plastic model cement." 
"T' clear plastic fins are permanently attached and are swept back." 
"Finishin' t' R2-D2 requires silver spray paint, plus bottle o' blue and silver paint suitable for plastic models." 
"Most o' t' surface markings on t' model are applied with self-adhesive decals. These work well, except for t' larger decals that go on t' curved surface o' R2's domed head . . Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! ." 
"T' R2 uses aft ejection, and I suspect this feature will give modelers the most problem with this kit." 
"Packin' t' parachute and shock cord around t' rear-ejection mount takes patience and will probably frustrate some younger modelers." 
"A major advantage o' t' aft ejection recovery is that R2 descends head first under its parachute; this protects t' plastic fins from landing damage." 
"T' new R2-D2 makes a nice-lookin' display model and will attract attention both on your self and on t' rocket range." 

T' entire article gives t' impression is that this is a nice kit for an intermediate modeler.
