Heh, it sure does. Aren't those wacky fins something from those old Estes fin templates of the 60's?

That is one UGLY rocket.

If you can get it cheap enough, it would be a nice source of parts. Three transitions!

It almost looks NASCAR inspired. Almost as if someone at Estes was a Dale, Jr. fan.

What a beauty! This is the one you’ve been dreaming about! It’s got the full package! A sleek yet full body design.....

Yeah right. Maybe I'll be having nightmares about it. It's almost as "sleek" as my 400 pound aunt Gertrude and she's been dead for 2 years.

What a lumpy looking rocket. 3 transitions and all of them misplaced. Maybe I'll save myself the purchase price by hitting one of my crashed rockets a few times with a hammer. I believe the end result may look a little better.

The bottom two transitions are probably some sort of wraps since they go from BT-70 to twin BT-50's back to BT-70. May not be such a great value.

If they'd been inspired by Total Recall, would they have designed a 36 D-Cubed?
