Scott,

Way too much time on my hands, apparently. Or at least a good deal more than usual.

Granted, anything is possible. But then again, fewer things are likely. (Spock eyebrow)


However, I *do* have Chris Michielssen (hcmbanjo)'s body tube "Cutter" from 2010. So in that sense, yeah.

Talking Centuri Fireflash 1.40X and 1.91X upscales

Interesting that this version uses Estes BT-20 (18mm) body tubes. I'm sure the plastic nose cones drive the price point:

(chuckling) I remember you prefer kits to scratch building.

It turns out that I have most of the parts (except for the 4 pod cones) to build an ST-7 (BT-20-ish) version of the Fireflash. I think I also have pretty much everything for an ST-10 upscale as well.

I only scratch build when kits are not available.
I cloned the Enerjet Aero Dart, Athena, and Egg Crate due to Semroc never offering them.
Cloned the Centuri Hustler before Semroc kitted it.
