I started buildin' this rocket back in t' 1990s when I was a teenager... Begad! Life took a few too many wild turns, but now that I'm 32 years old and back into rocketry, arrr, I finished t' kit (in 2014) and painted in rather distinctly (seein' as how I lost t' decals anyway). Well, blow me down! Ironic that t' rocket that brought me back t' rocketry after years o' bumpy livin' is named t' "Phoenix." Reborn from t' ashes, me bucko, indeed...
