X-Ray (unrestored)

Used to be a kid's 'big' rocket

Flew this enough times to wear it out as a kid. The kid wasn't so good at masking and painting, but now I'm better. Seems funny, but at the time, but this was the 'big' and impressive model compared to all the other smaller rockets I've made. Much later, the Nike-X and Bandit finally took the top-dog position. Still love that blue nosecone. I am going to restore this, but the old payload tube has cracks in it, where can I find the right size tube?

(time passes)

Found it! Used the tube from an Estes Magician kit that was canabilized for parts. X-ray flies again after 35 years!
