I finally finished up my Apogee II model today.

It's actually a Thrustline (Remember them?) kit with laser cut fins by Semroc and Excelsior Rocketry decals.

The parachute is an actual late 60s/early 70s Estes 12" black and yellow checkerboard version. The shroud line was still good but the tape strips had passed their expiration date so I substituted some adhesive monokote to secure the shroud lines.

The paint scheme is that which was first seen in the 1971 Estes catalog.
