In response to the recent development of large PCS cruising units, the Eastern Block have come to the conclusion that smaller is better, as long as you can build it in numbers.

Countless comrades have joint in a seamless effort to achieve a compromise of revolutionary engine reliability and accurate weapon targeting. The Red Rocket is already under heavy mass production and will be the striking hammer, held in a red-gloved hand whose determination will be satisfied only when PCS forces will no longer dare to cruise in our neighborhood.

Fazoom and his boys‘d better stay home these days, I’d say.

(...) For us impatient ones: (URL) Sweet, I love the retro-styling. It's what I've always imagined Eastern Block to be like. The fins are neat, and I like the way the cockpit opens. Watch out Fazoom! ~Kevin Blocksidge (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) JP - the Rocket is awesome! I love the cockpit doors and I will definately have to do something like that in my next creation! The Eastern Block will never fade! -Jr.Marshal Hoffman (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Hey..some really interesting part usage here. The snotted on canopy matches up surprisingly well with the natural slope of the other windshield and those castle wall pieces go a long way with retro-fying the fins. A nice simple looking, but (...) (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) JP, Very cool, I'm very fond of the finned rocket look. Thanks, George (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
  Re: EB Red Rocket
 
Oh man this is neat. It has a nice, production-line look about it. Like they're rolling them off the factory floor as fast as they can. It has an uncomplicated look about it. All utilitarian, no wasteful affections on the people's rocket. I can see (...) (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Cool. I can see like 50,000 of these swarming around, and getting blown up by, some giant PCS warship :) As someone else mentioned, I really dig the retro-rocket styling, and the curvature and shape of the tail fins is great! Adrian (URL) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
