Rocket is good, Stickers Don't stick

By: on 20 June 2025
This was my first model rocket kit, overall build quality is what you'd expect nothing too over the top, but not entirely cheap either. The Launch pad was easy to assemble following the included instructions and the rocket went together easily with only minor sanding on one plastic ridge to get it to fit snug. Everything else went together well. Sadly the stickers seem to be fused with the paper and will not come off without ripping. I'm assuming this was older stock or the stickers got too hot. Regardless the rocket is still functional without the stickers and I'm excited to see how high we can go!
