Torellian Invader (1.6" upscale)

This is a placeholder page for a future project, to build a 1.6" diameter upscaled Torellian Invader out of an Estes Super Neon XL kit.

• The nose cone and canopy will need to be 3D-printed, but I can re-use those designs when I do a bigger upscale.
• Thinking about papering the fins (see here and here).

UPDATE 5/7/2023: I just found that StickerShock23 makes a vinyl graphics set for the Torellian Invader! I just ordered graphics for the 1.6" rocket.
