Project Build: Estes Ascender with Booster-Part 6

Part 6 – The Finished Kits

When completed we liked the overall look of the model so we did not install the stick-on decals that came with the kit. We did add some copper and silver pinstripe tape to the payload area.

The kit went together pretty easily. We took our time and, along with the painting of the fins, nose cone and payload section, took several days to complete. If you skip the painting you can easily put this rocket together in a single day. The only hold up is waiting for the epoxy to cure.

This was our first ProSeries II rocket kit. We felt that the model has the look of a sounding rocket and were very pleased with the results.
