Estes #1953 Fireaero fin pattern
Recently won a Soaring Eagle kit that had been opened, and in the shipping box was a Fireaero the seller just threw in, which was nice.
However, all the lower fins are gone, and two upper ones are still attached. Wonder if anyone has this kit/built rocket that can measure those bottom fins for me. Many thanks! I know they're from 3/32 balsa. I could wing it, but I'm hopeful someone has this info! Allen |

This was a puzzling bird. I got the decal in an eBay lot a long time ago. Since the decal was red, I assumed the rocket might be white, maybe yellow. Never gave green a thought. It gave the impression of the color scheme being done via a blindfold and a color wheel.
I think I'll go ahead and do it in yellow with a red nose cone. That's about my limit.

I thought that name sounded familiar. I built the Fireaero only once--about 6 years ago. I'm pretty sure I didn't copy the fin patterns nor do I have the model now, but I can tell you with confidence that on this one I used Testors Sublime Green and Rustoleum Sun Yellow rattle cans.
