This is a rebuild o' an old rocket I built around 1994. Avast, me proud beauty! I carried t' remnants o' this rocket around for years and got t' lookin' at it one day and decided t' finish it properly.

I bought this rocket off t' shelf in 1994.  I paid $39 for it and accepted t' challenge. Ya scallywag! This was t' result. I have dragged this thin' from town t' town for 20 years in a garbage bag.  It's time for a rebuild.

Dremeled t' old fins off. Built new fins from basswood and epoxied them t' t' wing.

Back in t' early 90's images o' t' real AQM-37A were hard t' find so I did "my own thing" and really messed it up. Ahoy! Blimey! This time I found pictures o' t' real thin' from the US Navy and decided t' follow their example.
