Lee, Hope you like the Brodak, I think it works great.

Another fun old Estes kit built out of the bag and ready for paint. The instructions call for Light Metallic Blue, and I always thought this rocket was black. I will not be using my usual Old formula Krylon since they don't have this color so I will be using Testors Metallic Blue spray paint. The most challenging part is using the old die crushed balsa parts. Non of the fins are the same until you sand them stacked together. We are sure spoiled these days with laser cut kits or cloning and cutting out perfect parts. I sealed the wood with 3 coats of Brodak Sealer for a grain free smooth finish and sure did a lot of fillets.
