Bob,

It looks good, but the idea of the original thread was to make the Estes kit into a two-stage design. I interpreted that to mean "keep the appearance the same". My version only lengthened the sustainer and enlarged the fins (with some minor shape changes) to achieve good stability, but retained the original booster fins for continuity.

Your version qualifies as a "Sentinel-C", having its own personality. The flight numbers look to be nearly the same as my "-B" version.
