Including fins, centering rings and even parts for two alignment jigs this component packed set of parts give the Borealis her wondrous appearance. In addition to the laser cut parts, the Borealis also features:
Ducted Ejection: No recovery wadding needed! The mid-ship section, constructed from 3 thin tubes functions as a 14" long ejection baffle reaching all the way up to the forward parachute compartment. Tube Fins: Not just any tube fins, but the largest ever offered in a model rocket kit, for incredible stability and a wonder look too!
Alignment Jigs: Two different jigs that help make a complex assembly a simple process. Decals: A new form of peel-n-stick decals made from 2 mil vinyl providing vibrant colors and a very aggressive adhesive to keep them in place. Further, these stickers are contour cut to the edge of the decal color so no cutting is required. Historically modelers have dis-liked peel-n-stick decals, but we believe that this new style of material and printing process will change this opinion. Looks: We can't sit back and ignore the physical appearance of this kit as a feature in and of itself. The stuff that interstellar dreams are made of, the Borealis is truly a thing of beauty and Jim thinks you will agree!
