Yet another quality build. "Vanel's recent builds" is one of my favorite threads.

Still working on my Mini Brute clones. Here is a copy of the Estes Rogue - quality parts by Semroc and striking decals by Excelsior:

One of my favorites from the summer of '77. I have this one, a BT-55 version that I built in 2001, and the Q-Modeling version.

Very nice!

Boy, I gotta say, Estes really gets their money's worth out the number "3." Good looking rocket and a sweet paint job.

BMS Mini Bomarc completed - botched the decals which came with the kit, but Excelsior rescued me

That Canadian Bomarc looks great! Remember seeing one in our town market square when I was a boy. I see you're building the SAI Hen Grenade next.............Gordy has decals for those, too!

Joe

Very sharp looking builds! Thanks for sharing!

Looks great—as always. Nice specimen.

Just out of curiosity, do those birds like to weathervane and get horizontal? I've never built one or seen one flown. Does it have any quirks or peculiarities?
