Default New Project My Falcon Commander build

This is a BT-60 version but it will have a different finish, not all white.

Made a new nose cone (for me I use scraps of balsa and glue them together)

Cut out the upscale fins.

Made the motor mount

Have to sand the fins yet.

Since I can no longer make decal I will cobble something together.

I made decals for a very long time and I have a lot of oopses decals pieces to chose from.

Fins are on and here she is posed with her little sister.

I have to add the fin fillets and a whole bunch of sanding to go.

The scale is 168% upscaled. Not a lot but enough for a 24mm motor.

You can't see it but I did remember the launch lug!

It looks fast standing still.

The other model that looks fast standing still is the Black Brant II.

That’s a beautiful cone, Gordy.
