Default "Sorta-scale" Saturn Ib

After two months I have FINALLY finished my Saturn Ib. This is what I call "sorta-scale," as it's as close as I can get of a compromise between scale, practicality and available parts. It's based on BT-5, 50, 55 and 70 body tubes. The wraps are from Frank Claunch. The CM is an old Nike-Apache nose cone. The LES is a golf tee and dowels. And yes, the fins are intentionally too big for more strength and stability. I hope to launch it at NEFAR this weekend.
