I rarely find myself attracted to scale birds, mostly because the subject matter tends to the same subjects most of the time, and there is always someone who can do a better job than I can on those kinds of projects. The Aggressor Aerospace DF-15B appealed to me because I'd never seen or heard of the missile before, and because it was said to be a challenging build.



My first step was to take inventory and see if I could get a feel for what I'd be building. The kit has one body tube and three pieces of balsa that at first glance appeared to be two transitions and a nose cone. Second glance told a different story. There were no transitions. The nose cone was all balsa and was to be built out of the three balsa pieces. This was when I decided that I might actually need to read the instructions for a change.
