A while back I came across a partial kit, missing the header card, main BT, and chutes. Everything else was there, including the cardstock sheets, fin stock, capsule, tower, dowels, decals. I have some vintage checkerboard chutes to keep it mostly vintage.

After losing my recent #1921 build, thought I'd tackle this instead of building another 1921. The previous owner had drawn out some of the fin shapes on the balsa, but nothing was cut. The only change I'm making to the original design is Kevlar tied to the forward CR.

The two fun parts of this build, are of course the fins, and the escape tower. Cutting the fin gussets (#5) were tough, I cut a few extra and kept the best ones. I resisted the urge to buy the laser-cut set from eRockets, I want the experience on this build, to help building the sealed kit in the future.
