I couldn't decide with color/pattern scheme t' use on me V-2 kit, so I built a second one. This one will be painted in a yellow/black roll pattern, similar t' t' one shown on t' Estes face card. However, this will be t' pattern from t' #3 White Sands test (not t' #2 as Estes used). T' pattern itself is straight forward, however, this rocket also had a pinup little lass painted as fin can art. Excelsior makes a decal for this. This rocket is built, but is in t' final stages o' primin' and sanding. It should be painted soon.
T' only kit modifications are t' use o' 1/4" elastic shock cord (instead o' t' rubber), tied off around t' motor mount, matey, and a yellow 18" ripstop nylon parachute.
