Estes Star Hopper

Phew!

What an exhausting build!

It took 15 minutes, no really, it did!

The decals really sucked.
They peeled up with the backing paper.
I wasn't going to deal with removing the backing paper.
I think I will take off the landing/fins and paint them red like the Mars Lander.
Because this is a beginner kit, I won't do a step by step build.
This is the most boring-est kit in both build and color I have ever come across.
I may try to make an upscale model of this rocket.
Yeah, that's the ticket, that's what I'll do!

It isn’t the best choice for visibility against an overcast sky, no.....
