Two new fins, some body tube repair, nose cone clean-up, and a new paint job later, the Star Trooper is once again fully flight ready.
One small change in detail was the placement of the fleet number decal. It was originally on one of the fins, but with the model's propensity for losing fins (3 to date), the marking was moved to the body tube.
To go along with the Trooper, I finished off the booster section that caused the mishap. It now has proper fins and a paint job.
The model is scheduled for its next test flight in an upcoming February launch. If all goes well, and the staging system proves reliable, I will begin work on a scale BT-20 based WAC Corporal / Tiny Tim model.
