Vintage Estes Silver Streak Build
Pulled out another kit from my stash to build, the Estes Silver Streak, yes I know another simple boring build. I am ok with it since it is an OOP kit that needs to be built. I think this kit came out in 1990, parts are not bad for a 29 year old kit.

It’s a neat kit, the Chrome NC and foil decal make it look sharp and are difficult to clone.

I was checking my stash, and I have 4 of these. I remember them being pretty cheap when I bought them.

I have a few from the Hobby Lobby clearance aisle too. I built one for school demos. It's a great rocket for that purpose, with the D12 motor making a lot more smoke and noise and it being larger and heavier than the avg rocket makes it easy for the little kids to see and track. I had plans to heavily modify the design on the others, but never got around to building them.

tbzep, are you perhaps thinking of the Silver Comet (which uses the BT-80 V2 tail cone)? Silver Streak is closer to Alpha-sized....

Yep. That's what I get for not paying close attention or clicking on thumbnails.
