Rick Barnes's V-2 (field test pattern)
Manufacturer:Estes
Diameter:2.6000 inches
Length:22.4000 inches
Skill Level:3
Style:Scale

Finally finished!  Semi-scale build.  Fins are oversized, matey, but I did a reasonable job o' matchin' t' original fillets (larger at t' bottom).  Painted with t' German field test pattern - white and black roll pattern on t' fins and fin can, me hearties, but olive drab for t' main body and nose.  Decals are combination o' Estes and Excelsior, with a matte finish clear coat over t' entire model. Well, blow me down!


This kit was built stock, me hearties, with t' substitution o' 1/4" elastic shock cord for t' Estes rubber band, and a green 18" ripstop parachute.  I also added a Nomex chute heat shield.
