Fitting up fins to the 4" Estes "Hornet." There were several models with the name, this one is an upscale of Estes #2030.
The name "Murder Hornet" has been suggested haha. Since I have Dragon's 4" Photon Disruptor II, I'm thinking that this thing could be an opponent's torpedo/missile. Both are 4" LOC tube. The Photon Disruptor II definitely has the Star Trek/Federation look. Maybe I can talk someone into making some written Klingon versions of PSB (pseudo-scientific bs) for vinyl and request some Empire stickers from Stickershock. It's all just thinking until it is primed anyway.
When I hand-build HPR, getting 3 or 4 fins the correct size isn't that difficult. 10 was painful. Lots of clamps on the stacks, and the table sander.
Fillet. Never mind the fillets. I'll make Bob Smith a wealthy man : )

Yeah - still haven't painted the Estes Strikefighter but I am inspired now.
Vietnam-era F-4 Jungle Camo, or Stuka Camo (it has the cannon for it), light gray bottom, black nose cone tip & I get to use the airbrush.
& I almost made it through Sunday with no honey-do's. Almost.
