Any ideas?
Just found this at the bottom of a pile in the shop. BT-60 with fins and nothing else. Knowing me as I do, I'm going to say it's a clone, but other than that..........
Any ideas?

I'm trying get an idea of the size. Is it BT60?

My first thought was it was the beginnings of an Estes Cyclone

I can't tell the exact proportions of the fins in the photo, but a Mean Machine has pretty small fins.

I used John's Tube Guide last night and figured out that it's the beginning of an incorrectly built Menace. I know I still have the instruction sheet downstairs. Pretty sure I didn't read it.

Assuming the fins are correctly sized, it'll look much better once you add the scoop and wings. The paint and decals should really make this one pop. |

Looks a bit like Mean Machine fins, but the MM fins are not so far aft.
