An extremely successful sounding rocket
I have a classic FSI Black Brant II kit from the 70's/80's that I'm going to build. The kit is in great shape and I wanted to do it justice by building it to the highest standard.
It became one of those projects that I really connected with and poured a lot of myself into. I'm really proud of the result and get great satisfaction seeing it on the shelf.
There was a great amount of excitement for the first orbital launch from the UK. and I was really taken by the aesthetics of the Launcher One. I decided to build a scale model, and here we are.
