A Nice-Looking Bird

This kit was purchased from the local Hobby Lobby store about a year and a half ago, but construction didn't  begin until last October, when the model became part of the 2021 binge-build.

The BT-60 based rocket features two sets of inter-digitatated fins and a very long nose!

The kit was largely built stock, with the exception of being equipped with a longer motor mount stuffer tube.

The paint scheme follows that shown on the kit face card.

The application of the myriad kit decals makes for a very attractive model rocket which I am quite pleased to add to the fleet.
