Rick Barnes's V-2 (field test pattern)
Manufacturer:Estes
Diameter:2.6000 inches
Length:22.4000 inches
Skill Level:3
Style:Scale

Finally finished!  Semi-scale build.  Fins are oversized, but I did a reasonable job of matching the original fillets (larger at the bottom).  Painted with the German field test pattern - white and black roll pattern on the fins and fin can, but olive drab for the main body and nose.  Decals are combination of Estes and Excelsior, with a matte finish clear coat over the entire model.


This kit was built stock, with the substitution of 1/4" elastic shock cord for the Estes rubber band, and a green 18" ripstop parachute.  I also added a Nomex chute heat shield.
