Shitcanned the first rocket as the finish was dreadful !@)
Started again and decided to go with plain silver as per the translite artwork.
I'm much happier with the shape of this model too.
Used a 6v Orange LED for the "engine" 'cos I reckon it looks like the shape of a booster exhaust.
LED actuation is by a second cherry microswitch paired together with the kicker atuating one and I silver brazed a "bridge" across the switch levers so now they work from a common P/F wire trigger.
