Default White Vulcan

I wanted to try the Centuri Vulcan without using up my ink. So, I made a subdued / white prototype version.

I didn't have a nose cone for it and thought I'd try a different one.

Hey, that cone design actually looks pretty good! Sleeker, more 'aggressive' look compared to the original.

Earlier this year I did a vintage build from an original kit, but have not yet flown it. Unique design all the way around for its time and I look forward to actually flying it.

Gluing a cardstock cone isn't easy though. Gets hard to line up and hold the tip!

I'm considering a Colonial Viper type nose cone too.

Now to dig through the boxes in the garage for a 9" tube...

Not sure if I have the original. I made mine of the Black Vulcan I downloaded.

Thought I would add them here (if I got the right files) for anyone who wants them. I did update it a little since it came out so bland with all white.
