Looks like WAAAAYYYYY more work to restore that S1B than just opening the wallet and paying ~$100-125 for an Estes re-issue NIB off ebay and just building new. At least I'd rather start with something pristine and build it MY way than trying to restore a POS some hack assembled into a HASHIMOTO MESS !
As far as that interceptor goes, the best thing for it would be to launch on an Aerotech 18mm D10W with the ejection charge removed.

Yes good luck with the rebuild Mark! It sounds very interesting. If you get a chance please post some progress updates.
I really like doing rebuilds myself. I find it very satisfying to fix something that someone else might have given up as a lost cause.

Sounds like fun to me. I've resurrected a couple that most people would have trashed. Make sure you get a few photos of your work to post with the rebuild thread. Randy www.vernarockets.com |

Guys,
I put a rebuild thread in the Scale section. For JamJammer - used a TLP Lance kit to make a new M-50 Booster for my Honest John nose. I never finished it. Maybe I'll move it back up the queue.
