The answer from Gus is OBVIOUSLY the correct one. At least in my book it is correct and the ONLY one !

You could see through the holes on the Gemini rockets. A lot of folks get the placement of the holes wrong on their models. They have to line up with the grates above. Heck, Sheri's rendition did not even have enough of them to go around! I had to make some out of Monokote trim. I let her know, but she blew me off.
Imagine that!

Bad service from Sheri's SCHLOCK Rockets ???
Naw, say it ain't so.......
Carpet Tubes and Sonotube has a better base for finishing than the tubes in those kits...

Talking

A Korolev Corset ? Hum.. What was on his mind ? How about this discreption of a 36" tall
Double D Engine Cluster Rocket with a cool red and black Paint job.
From the 2007 Estes Catalog, The 36 D Squared - The one you've been dreaming about.
It's got the full package, Sleek, yet full body design.
Reminds me of Furgie from the Black Eyed Pea's Neal

Added: the fins have a very odd shape also, Now you all know whats on my mind.
