| Assembly |
OK. Time to do the sub-assemblies and final assembly. Get all them manuals I said to get and
photos I said to take all together. Some WD-40 or CRC 5-56 and a can of 3 in 1 oil. You'll see
where you need this during assembly. An old thick blanket to lay on the floor would be handy
too. Don't want to scratch that new paint. I put the head box together first, then the bucket
and finally the rails. No set way to do it. Whatever makes you happy. Have fun!

| DUPLICATE Mk-92 ROCKET PACK MOUNTED |
| The duplicate could not be made in one piece requiring the disassembly of the real Rocket Pack. It was then bead blasted and thoroughly cleaned. RTV molds were made. As a number of tubes are the same, only one mold was made for each. The molds were poured with a high strength resin, mold marks cleaned up and painted gloss white. All the labels are reproductions that I had made. Many thanks to John Nitka of ACE Resin. He all of the hard work. All I did was the labels. |
