Fun build. Needs better decals

The decals are blurry and U S Military is not a very accurate decal. I cut and stitched the letters to say US ARMY which is at least more legit looking.

Very Fun!!!

This rocket was a very good option, and stayed within a very good price range for what you're getting! It took me no time at all to put together this rocket and get it in the air! I couldn't ask for a better rocket!

Really enjoyed this build. With a little attention to paint

Really enjoyed this build. With a little attention to paint and decals, it turned out to be a beautiful scale project. Best looking rocket in my hobby room!
