I've had it in mind for a while to do a scale-ish Black Brant IV for a few reasons. Mainly coz I really like the form of the rocket and the potential for mid-airframe separation. Also, there are some fun personal connections as I live in Bristol (UK) and have some (slightly tenuous) familial connections to the original Bristol Aeroplane Company which was the predecessor to Bristol Aerospace who made the BB.
As implied above, I am not getting too focused on the precise scale aspects but mainly want it to look right on the pad.
Plan is to start off with an 18mm motor scale and then if all goes well then maybe a 29 mm using a post tube. Got a few random ideas about doing some funky things with the motor mount which could use a different lower half module but these will wait until the main thing is working.
