I could use a little help with this. I'm seeing the MRI Lambda 8 as a four fin rocket, but I can also see it as a three fin. Anyone have an opinion?

At least 3!

The longer I looked at it, the more undecided I became. It first appeared that the angles looked more like 90°, and maybe the artist just decided not to try to draw that 4th fin, with so little to realistically show.

Some special sentimental value ?
All of their supposed "designs" are about as exciting as an Estes Kadet.
Meh..

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask, you probably aren't !

Having built this one way back in 69, I can tell you it is a 4 fin rocket. Anything else I can help you with sir?
