According to Revell from wa back, this is an Authentic Kit. I guess so. Prettty much looks like the pictures you can find.
First completion of 2023. This kit should have taken about 3 days to build. Took much longer. A lot of flash, mold seam lines, stuff like that. Decals looked decent, but were about as thick as copy paper. Some broke apart. I quit trying on it. Not a bad kit all in all.
and you can see one of the problems...stuff won't stay put.

Looks great! Now you just need some Estes rocket motors in there…

Hey that's really cool Lyle - that came out well!
I bet it feels good to get that first finish of 2023 done?
