The model I got wasn't a Black Brant, just used the parts. I could look up which interchangeable kit it was, but it isn't worth it. I stripped off the badly glued on fins on the way home.

Yes, BT-50!

Need to come up with a nice fin plan. Maybe not quite Black Brant style, but similar.

Was it the Black Brant III? Estes kit, BT-50 with plastic nose cone and tail cone. I think a few other Estes kits used that plastic part, including the Wildfire.

If you decide to build a Black Brant III, fin dimensions are here..............

And I'll bet Excelsior has the decals.

Probably the Estes Crossfire. That's the current kit that uses the nose and tail combo.

BT-20 Cherokee B. I missed a little on the decals, but the only place you can tell is on the wrap. The fin decals came out nice.



The Estes Vampire is just an Estes Jinx painted black and Finished with Sandman decals. Looking forward to flying this one.

Woah, you must have had some really crappy weather, to have built so much over the winter!

I just realized that your Der V-1.5 is a 1/2 scale of the old Estes V-3. I had the kit, but scavenged the parts for some other project, which is escaping me at the moment.

I still have the decals, if you feel compelled to make an original.
