How hard would it be to create this one?
I saw this picture on Facebook and remembered what unique looking rocket it was.
Every time I see one, I always think if I had the skill, I would make a 3D file for this one. For you guys out there who know how to design 3D files, how hard would it be to do a file for this rocket? |

This is the Estes Stealth, right?

Definitely Estes Stealth.... Which was obviously designed before anyone had seen the F-117.

You're right that's the Stealth. I often wonder why ESTES hasn't rereleased it.
I wonder if something happens to the blow mold body tube and nose cone. It would be good to see it offered again. |

Wait, I thought the Stealth’s main body was high density styrofoam and NOT hollow blow-molded or vacu-formed.

It was definitely not styrofoam - plastic of some sort. Getting the balsa wings to stay glued was a real PITA.
Loved the design though - very sharp looking rocket.

The stealth rocket I had had a body that the round paper tube ran up through. I just thought it was a blown mold section. You're right about keeping the fins on.
With the 3D printers today, a person could print fins and all and use glue made for 3D printed parts to hold them together. |

The Stealth had a blow-molded fuselage with a motor mount/stuffer tube going through it.
