Long neglected project
I wasn't happy with how the nose cone turned out when I started on this several years back. Yesterday I got the parts back together and put some mojo into it. Today I located the centering rings and motor mount, so I'm hoping that I can have it flightworthy by the next club launch.

It's cool--but what is it?

Sorry, forgot that part. It's a Centuri Bulldog.

What's with the paper cap on the nose cone? Painting mask?

Nope, part of the cool look. When it's painted and decalled should be awesome.

The blunt nose contained an optical sensor for laser guiding/laser seeking purposes. The Bulldog itself, while eventually tested and approved for use never entered actual service.

I got a bulldog around 1990, great kit. It was the first kit I had where the decals disintegrated.

Yeah, it's just not rolled yet. Today it gets the motor mount and Kevlar cord. I might get to the boat tail if there's time.
