This is the standard Estes Bullpup 12D kit, modified with a small payload bay between the forward fins and the nose cone, and a engine mount pulled slightly rearward to allow for a metal spring-clip for the motor.  It is internally modified with a Kevlar shock cord mount and a much longer shock cord.

The Nomex protected the parachute this time, but it was shredded in the very next flight!
