Gang,
A couple shots of the latest addition to my Rocket Garden: a 1/96 Delta II that launched the Deep Impact asteroid-blaster in January 2005.
I downscaled Erik te Groen's most excellent 1/72 kit to build the model. It has a few added plastic bits, including the cable runs and the tops of the nine solid rocket boosters, which I made from ballpoint pen tips. Space Geek note: The #6 solid booster exhaust nozzle is supposed to be bigger than the others visible. When the Delta II mounted nine solids, the #4,5 and 6 solids had the larger exhausts.
Overall, a satisfying build. Mucho thanx to Erik for his great models!
