My Estes ESAM-58
Ok, I wish Estes would stop popping out these low priced kits at Hobby Lobby, it is not like I don't have enough kits to build already. So of course I had to buy this model even though I was not crazy about the face card colors. The kit is a simple rocket to build and my only complaint is the balsa had some serious gouges probably from the milling process. Oh well I was feeling lazy and just did the best I could with sanding and no fillers. She is built per the plans, balsa sealed with 2 coats of balsa sealer. Since I am using Rustoleum Rust Stop Army Green I enamel, I used primer for better adhesion. I am hoping I will get the decals on later next week.

Really! Maybe his account was hacked. Wait, that looks like his home. Somebody broke in and is building models there!

I will only deviate from the face card colors on the newer kits, I will not make changes to my vintage builds, I promise. I also like the HL Estes Olympus, but not crazy about the colors or clear payload so I will customize that build as well. I really do like the Olympus decals......
