Construction is a breeze. Ya scallywag! Fins are laser cut and easy t' pop out. Ahoy! T' transition and nose cone are so smooth and easy t' fill. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! T' motor mount is same as any other. Begad! Aye aye! T' launch lug is nested in t' fillet of one o' t' fins. Begad! You glue t' BT-20 t' t' top o' t' transition and then if you want, t' nose cone t' t' other side.
When I got this kit thar were some missin' parts, but I contacted Cygnus and t' problem be smartly taken care of. Begad! I really suggest them t' anyone lookin' for some fun kits. Begad! Blimey!

number o' Wal-mart silver, me bucko, arrr, then painted t' top half and upper inch o' so o' t' bottom with Testor's Sapphire Metal
Flake. Avast, me proud beauty! It came out great. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! Finally came t' green Blazer decal. Well, matey, blow me down! Unfortunately I tore part o' t' decal when applyin' it.
Some how it looks better that way.
