On to my next couple of builds. Right now I am going to start on my Stiletto build, the kit is in great condition and should be a fast build. The 1/8 X 1/8 is basswood so that should be easy to seal. The balsa will need a little work, but thats ok. I will of course post pictures of my build.

Oh man, I forgot Estes also came out with a Stiletto. I am a Centuri Stiletto nut, as you can see from my avatar. That looks like a fun build.

Very interesting.

Especially since that nose cone/tailcone is available again.

Sandman..............where can you get that nosecone/tailcone piece? I have an old Estes Black Brant III that needs one.

Call Estes, They are currently using it in the Tandem X starter kit. I ordered 10 a while back.

All wood parts have been given 3 coats of balsa sealer and are smooth to the touch. I cut the plastic nose cone as per the directions and added the engine mount. I will glue the shock cord mount in place and begin adding the fins. Should be done tonight and primed tomorrow.

Not bad for a days work. I have completed the Stiletto build and will begin priming tomorrow. Straight forward build and the paint scheme appears straight forward.

I have been real busy over the last few days, but I had to make time to paint my Stiletto, we are expecting rain in a day or so. The decals have 2 coats of decal film applied and I will apply them on Thursday. The nose is copper but my camera makes it look brown. Well back to building the Star Ship Enterprise.

Decals are on and this bird is ready to fly.

That's a good looking bird.
