Big Bertha

Did a quick build of the estes "BIG BERTHA" that my wife bought me for my birthday.
It was a nice break from the high power build i am working on.
I tried to build it with my 3 year old son, but he still is a bit young as his attention quickly wore off.
built it in a few hours just needs paint.
will post pics soon ...
