That's the look I'm hoping for. Saturday is looking pretty soggy from my Tuesday night perspective, but if it comes off I have four old two-stagers I'm going to try to have ready to go. Hoping to print a decal for this one and the Astron Apogee, finish the striping on the Astron Farside X and find a Semroc decal for my Midget.

The Avenger decal should be in your mailbox.

Go for it.

I can see where a project like this might take you beyond the limits of BP-BP staging. What are you considering?

Does that mean thinking ahead? I have very little experience with that. So far, I've thought about smoke, fire and a shiny red nose cone.

I think I figured a 1.68 upscale. BT-70 to BT-60 and gap stage E of F booster to D,E, or F sustainer I would need to plug it into Rocksim. I have a Apogee II upscale ready to paint. I also have parts for an upscale Farside X. I had Sandman years ago make a nosecone and transition. I have fins and need to glue up some motor mounts.
