Comrades:

Well, I didn't get done by 4th of July or even July 20th. Two quick pictures, the first is of the completed rocket before painting and the second, with primer, out under the blazing Texas sun this afternoon. Primers are Dupli-color Grey Filler and Dupli-color White.

Not entirely sure what colors I'm going to paint it. I don't particularly want to do it with the Alpha decals that have been around since 1982 as my original rocket flying days were before that. I note that the JimZ plans indicate the original prototype was white with red nose, one red fin and an adjacent panel red.

Maybe.
