The USPF attempts to infiltrate their space and try to discover more about them nearly led to intergalactic war.  Only the foresight of one Tarnk-nak commander along with the bravery and intuition of Commodore Kits saved the day for both governments.  

Build this exciting replica of the ship that dared to confront the might of the USPF and win the day and secure the future of both races.  This model rocket kit will fire your imagination and keep you thinking of what could be!

		Pod sub-assembly.  This shows how two tubes are cut and then interlocked to form a dummy engine pod.  These are assembled just like micro HERC-5 models would go together.  This assembly is about 4" long made from BT-50 tubes.
		Outboard fin assemblies with gun booms.  These are attached to the pods.
		This is the unique engine mount that helps give this model its most unique look.  This engine mount may be made available for purchase at a later date.
		A close up of the two pods attached to the main fins.  The outboard, or secondary fins, are then attached to the outboard sides of the pods.
		This is a photo of the original proto type.  The main fins were narrower and the overall design simpler.  The problem with this design is there was too much flex in the main wing during boost causing some deflection in flight with C motors.
		Here is Jim with this original proto prepared for launch.  This gives you a good idea of the overall size of the model.
		The original proto type on the pad and ready for launch.
		The second proto type displays a beefed up main fin (thicker stock and a longer cord) as well as a more elaborate set of outboard fins.
		Proto #2 on the pad and ready for launch!

		WE HAVE LIFTOFF!  Caught this from the side (cool view) with the CMASS flag in the background.

		Ready for another flight
		Testing the B4-2 motor.  Great flight but a problem was developing.  You will notice in the pictures that the wing pods are well forward of the detailed engine mount.  This meant that this engine mount was taking the full brunt of the landing impact.  After 3-4 flights we started to see some damage to this area in the form of bent fins (coolant fins, those fins around the ping pong ball and ending in the tube ring)
		The solution was proto type #3 where we've moved the side pods back so that they are about 1/4" BELOW the end ring of the engine mount.  In this way these pods (and the main fins) take the impact of landing, saving this cool engine mount from damage.
