USS Atlantis
Thank You Carl for the laser cut fins and Nacelle BNC20?
Note: All balsa was papered with Staples full sheet label paper. Two coats of grey primer, one coat of flat white paint sanded to 600 grit, two coats gloss white. The Nacelle are painted with Testors Competition Red, Decal By Gordy
Oh one other thing The antenna is the inner cap for a Wal Mart 1/2n1/2 milk container same size as the estes paper one.

The USS Atlantis has one flight so far on a B6-4 at 60 Acres in Redmond, Wa.

Default Estes Vindicator

Well this is the last one another Estes Kit. Followed same process on the build as the last two but the bottom blue was the fun part .Used Krylon primer/paint rattle can, has a nice semi- gloss to it . The fun part was masking the upper fins to keep unwanted over spray off these parts. I did not mask the parting line between the two colors . Either I got lucky or I did it right the first time. Enjoy

Dang. You've been busy. That's a lot of strakes, fins, pods and decals there. Very good looking stuff. Looks like there's going to be a dazzling and entertaining launch coming up.

I thought the Vindicator used the Interceptor tail cone.

Silly me, I was thinking you were going to talk about a rocket in Finland...
