Finally finished! Semi-scale build. Fins are oversized, but I did a reasonable job of matching the original fillets (larger at the bottom). Painted with the German field test pattern - white and black roll pattern on the fins and fin can, but olive drab for the main body and nose. Decals are combination of Estes and Excelsior, with a matte finish clear coat over the entire model.
This kit was built stock, with the substitution of 1/4" elastic shock cord for the Estes rubber band, and a green 18" ripstop parachute. I also added a Nomex chute heat shield.
