Jeff,
Excellent job! Funny that the Morerockets kit has a balsa cone, and my Estes kit has plastic.
I started the process to seal the balsa pieces before assembly, as per instructions. The fins and other parts are so close that sanding them after attachment would be a real pain. Unfortunately, the parts were not intact on the balsa sheet, so sealing eight little pieces is quite a long process. But, I am in no hurry.
