Vintage Estes EAC Viper build
This is a neat little kit that comes with a lot of paper work for the Estes club. Also comes with peel and stick decals.

I got that "club" kit when I joined as a kid. Unfortunately, it's all been lost over the years from to many moves...
When did they quit doing that anyway? |
I think 1986 was the last year for EAC. They later came out with another club, ESP, I think around 1991. It came with the Yankee Clipper.

This was a fun build and ready for the primer, but we have rain on the way so I will see what happens. Basic construction, Elmers Glue-ALL for the basic build, Estes traditional tri-fold rubber shock cord, 3 coats of Aerogloss Balsa Sealer for smooth fins. Will spray primer, old formula Krylon Glossy white and yellow trim. For the Pink/Magenta paint, I will try Testors.

I have several parachutes in this style, but none that were still attached like this one. What are the little pennants on the right side?
|
Supposed to be flags when displaying the rocket.
|
I wonder if anyone has a good scan of the iron on shirt decal. I'd love to try to get a guy that scans in and makes T-shirts at the flea market to make me a duplicate.

Actualy, the parachute was designed for the Cold Power Land Rocket line and depicts a dragster chute. The flags are racing flags. |
