Default Centuri Black Widow

How great is Semroc? On Thursday I ordered a bunch of parts and they arrived today. It's like having the kit itself, plus extras for other projects. I especially like the laser-cut "Black Widow" logo on the fin stock.

Heh, I was wondering what you were going to do with those engine lock clips.

I've kept the logos from all of the Semroc kits I've built. Not sure what I might do with them, but they're too cool to just toss away.

Should have sent the decal. That is about the only thing missing.

I will have to find it. The part number is DKV-5, but it is not online. Krellvinator again! I will try to get it online. In the meantime, put it in the notes!

Argh! I followed the dimensions on the plans on JimZ's site, which I guess are for an older version. The booster tube should be 3 1/2" not 4"! The laser cut fins won't work on the longer tube. With a 3 1/2" tube you only need one inside tube coupler. Luckily I test fit before gluing, so I can just cut off an inch.

Buzz, I hope you read this before ordering!

Drew

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't placed the order yet. Was waiting on the decal info. Thanks Drew and Carl!

So after gnashing of the teeth and cutting of the tube, I finished the booster. Hard to believe this thing is actually going to glide with a spent engine in it, but . . . .
