Well according to guru John Boren, there are some changes to the kit in terms of fin material and a 24mm plastic retainer system instead of the metal engine hook. So it is different. Maybe because this kit's name starts with "E" they wanted to keep it E powered. So i guess we need a Fatalizer or Finalizer kit (F powered).

I love the Vagabond on 24mm E12s.....I need to build another one (or two) - maybe one with a 29mm mount., though the Star Orbiter does scratch that itch pretty well (especially flying with a JL Chute Release).

Meanwhile, back to the Executioner....

I don't think the current 29mm 50 n-sec F15-x will "Fatalize" or "Finalize" any rocket it will fit into.
