While I'm on the subject of Big Bertha model rockets, I found this image of one built by a ROMAR club member back in the mid 70s.
This model was on a display table at one of the club's shopping center demo launches:
The off-the-wall paint scheme was done by spiral-wrapping a lace floral strip around the body tube and using it as a paint stencil.
Interesting....
I hadn't noticed this before, but the Jupiter-C model in the above photo was mine. It was a plastic conversion of the old Hawk kit! I might write a post about this one in the future.
