This is a rebuild of an old rocket I built around 1994. I carried the remnants of this rocket around for years and got to looking at it one day and decided to finish it properly.

I bought this rocket off the shelf in 1994.  I paid $39 for it and accepted the challenge. This was the result. I have dragged this thing from town to town for 20 years in a garbage bag.  It's time for a rebuild.

Dremeled the old fins off. Built new fins from basswood and epoxied them to the wing.

A few coats of primer over the old magenta and metallic purple paint jobs of yore.

Back in the early 90's images of the real AQM-37A were hard to find so I did "my own thing" and really messed it up. This time I found pictures of the real thing from the US Navy and decided to follow their example.

Recreated a few of the decals and bought some others. I will finally throw on a dull coat.
