LOL! you must have ordered right before me...I got #13 and #14 this afternoon.

Mine were Centurion 15, SPEV and Defender 19. I'm planning to build mine, so if anyone has the other #15 kits and wants a matching set, I'll be happy to trade the Centurion. (I already started on the Defender. :rolleyes: )

My order was placed right after Bill's I guess. I had Centurion #16 and SPEV & Defender #20.

Looks like we were all waiting to pounce when Sheryl made the announcement here that they put the kits online!

I am going to open the bag on Defender #12 later tonight and inhale the sweet Semroc air, examine the parts and start the build. Just from peeking in the bags I noticed there is a little square of clay in there too. I bought the other kit as a spare should I damage or lose the other rocket. If it means anything to anyone to have Defender #11 let me know. I'll take another Defender kit or something else in trade. I have no problems parting with it as I'm a builder and not a collector.

I've had good success with the water thinned Elmers wood filler for balsa parts that you guys have suggested (no fill n finish in the stores in my area). I have heard of some guys using photo paper glued over the balsa fins. Anyone have any success with this or should I just stick with the thinned Elmers?

Thanks!

Centurion 13, SPEV 17, Defender 17.........All are going to get built.....Production number tags to be applied to the finished model...... :)

Depends. Jay swears by it, but I can see myself making a complete mess out of it. I can live with the sanding.

Forget the Elmers wood filler/fill n' finish.
An "old time" kit design deserves "old school" finishing.....get some Aero Gloss or Sig Sanding Sealer or Balsa Fillercoat for those fins !
Nothing beats that "organic chemical" noxious fume dope finish !!!!!
Honestly I have cases of old stock and won't use anything else.
