I just realized......the photo you posted will help immensely with decal placement! This Jayhawk deluxe kit has FAR more decals than the previous Rocketarium Jayhawk kit.

Now for the antenna whips--or are they masts?

Using a pin vise and a .010" drill bit I angle drill the antenna bases. I then epoxy in (2) faux antennas cut from a paper clip.

Thanks, it was fun!

—-and it’s a MUCH more detailed kit than the previous version of the Jayhawk from Rocketarium.
