### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Challenging Build, But Worth It.
*by D***N on August 14, 2017*

Challenging build, but follow the instructions and you'll have a beautiful scale rocket. I went on EBay and bought a plastic fin and skin kit that made it easier to build and looked even cooler. Launched this afternoon and it flew perfect. Had a great time building and launching this kit.
