Comrades:

So here's a quick pic to sum up: The kit paint and the two known, scale paint jobs in this morning's brisk Texas sun. The silver kit paint job is a rescue I just finished. The all-white Sparrow is a rescue I finished a few weeks ago and the black Sparrow is my childhood Aerobee recently repainted with the red stripe added. The white Aerobees have had the body tube extended to be more "scale". All three of these kits (and others I've seen over the years) suffer from the transition shoulder being too small so these rockets always look like the transition is stuffed down the tube a little.

All have been retrofitted with Kevlar/elastic shock cords and had their parachutes IRAN'd. They are all launchable and will go up as soon as "they" reopen the parks.
