This is one of those kits that I couldn’t resist. Not only is it a cluster engine system, but I love the NASA style nose cone. I have been thinking of making it into a NASA space program capsule, maybe a Mercury Mk II kind of thing.

There are two of these in my fleet, one that needs paint, the other still in the bag. I may build that one to a single D motor instead of the cluster design. maybe even make it a 2 stager...who knows....

Awesome 2-motor cluster design!
