Estes D-Region Tomahawk

This was one of Estes’s best kits in my opinion!

The E20s are good motors for this heavy walled sturdy kit!

I had one like that done up in the Scale D-region colors, kit #2037. I flew it for years and years.
I liked the E9 in it even, also the F30 single use AT motor.

But in it's later days it hit the stone road at Gate 14 RV camp at MIS speedway a few too many times, poppin' a fin here and there; then I had to retire it after many, many repairs. The nose cone was still fine and I still have it.

So when I found a stash of #2037s, some I sold here, I decided to build one about 3-4 weeks ago. I did not paint it scale this time, and it still needs another black pin stripe under the orange on the payload. I have a sheet of pin stripes upstairs I need to get down and put it on.

I got a couple more, the next one I will do up in Scale markings, this one will be the flyer.
