I was surprised at how many wrap kits are offered. I have a bunch of Interceptor and Interceptor-E kits, and will likely do one of my Es in a wrap. (There are a lot of styles for the Interceptors.) There is also a wrap for the Mercury-Redstone.

Did you find the motor clip recesses in the rings to build a seven motor version?

I ordered one of the warp sets for my wife. One of the Little Joe II kits we received had a scrunched box, so she claimed it for herself. She hasn't had much experience building rockets, but she's doing okay with the LJII so far. I've had to help her decipher the instructions in a few places, but, otherwise she's done everything. I think the wrap will make finishing less challenging for her.

BTW ... we (JonRocket.com) now have Plastistruct Bondene in stock now which some have recommended over standard plastic cement for joining the Styrene and ABS parts in the LJII kit.

Sorry you guys went to all the trouble to reproduce the General Dynamics placard.

All you had to do was ask.

Default Wraps from John Pursley

Just an FYI (and because it's been awhile since anyone posted here)...

John Pursley developed a really nice set of LJII wraps -

He's on Ebay -

Pretty sure those are wraps done by the last John Pursley. See post #107 above.

No, John’s wraps are no longer available. And I don’t know anyone else who has marketed any, but that does not mean none are out there. I’m just not aware of any.
