Default Vintage Estes Der V-3 build

Between the Estes Crusader and Der V-3, I went with the Der V-3. I don't have much time to build so this rocket fit the bill, easy vintage build. I will build the Crusader next, that should be a challenging build. This kit is in good condition but typical Estes die crushed balsa. Used white build for the entire build and sealed the fins with 4 coats of Brodak sealer. Rocket is now ready for the paint shop and decals.
