Default Vintage Estes Blue Star Build

I am stuck building in a small space on my TV dinner tray so I decided to build my Estes Blue Star, nice little rocket. You can see the picture of her bigger brother that came out at the same time.

Build was straight forward, I have been busy at work so building has slowed done. I am back to using old formula Krylon, they did just change it to Acryli-Quik but it is the same stuff and they don't plan on discontinuing it. After using Rustoleum the last couple of years I forgot how wonderful old Krylon is. I am speeding up my builds and this really helps with no re coat window. I brushed on 4 coats of balsa sealer and shot the Glossy white with no primer.

Very nice! It kind of resembles the Firecat ATW--but with a different NC.

Also, I don't recall EVER having one of those or seeing a built one.
