Assembly

Attach the boosters to the side sur of the rocket. The booster motors must be just under the Vulcan motor of the main rocket body.

Reffer to the full rocket picture for more details.

For a more realistic look I added pompoms to do the engine flames (with yellow, orange and red yarn)

I also added flags and logos
