First kit I built getting back into model rocketry.
A unique feature of this small diameter rocket is the use of an engine hook that mounts on the outside of the body tube.
There's no need for motor friction fitting which can be tricky, but shaping the fins around the retention hook and ring requires some careful knife work and sanding to achieve a clean look.
