The Goonymarc was number eight in my line of modified Baby Bertha kit bashes. I started with the plans from Jim Z's for the Estes kit #654 with the thought of building the glider version of the Bomarc but ended up with the parachute version (kit #657). All templates and decals for this build were taken from the #657 Bomarc plans (http://www.spacemodeling.org/JimZ/est0657.htm).
Again, as stated this was another kit bash so the first thing I did was purchase another Baby Bertha kit as the heart of this build. All components were used except the decals of course. Six additional components used in this build were a BT-60 coupler (that I made), an additional 2" section of BT-60 tube that I had left over from when I shortened the body tube for the Zoom Broom build, two hand made balsa NC's for the nacelle cones and two yellow engine spacer tubes from a couple of old Estes kits for the nacelle tubes themselves.
