My first experience as an adult with vacuum formed parts was my Estes Maxi Brute Honest John. I like the distinctive shape of the nose tapering back to a thinner body but I learned to despise working with vac formed parts. Like anything else, its a skill that builds over time. Its still not my favorite but I am better at it, especially since I have eschewed Testor's tube style glue.
I still think this is a good looking rocket, even though it hasn't been flown recently. Its awaiting repair on a vac formed fin once again.
