SCALE - Delta II Gallery

I've just finished up the DFR Technologies DELTA II kit on my blog at:

That link follows the entire Delta II build in reverse, from finish to start.

It was a great build with lots of nose cones!
Carl has upgraded to vinyl wraps on this one. There is great detail on the new wraps.
They are easy to apply and allow for re-positioning if needed.

DFR Technologies kits are available from www.jonrocket.com
On the blog, the Estes Saturn V is in progress now.

Delta II was an American space launch system, originally designed and built by McDonnell Douglas. Delta II is part of the Delta rocket family and was in service from 1989 until November 1, 2011. Delta II vehicles included the Delta 6000, the Delta 7000, and two 7000 variants ("Light" and "Heavy").

After McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing in 1997, Delta II rockets were built by Boeing Integrated Defense Systems, until Delta rocket production became the responsibility of United Launch Alliance (ULA) on December 1, 2006. ULA now markets Delta II to U.S. government customers, and Boeing Launch Services (BLS) markets Delta II to commercial companies.
