Estes Mars Lander Internal Ring
Maybe someone here can assist me.
I just acquired an original Estes Mars Lander kit. Unfortunately it is missing one of the two Internal Rings Part #RT-99D. Does anyone have such a ring lying around that they could part with? BTW, the same ring is also used in the Estes Star Trek Enterprise Kit #1275. Thanks, |
Hi Leo
Semroc has them. Same part # RT-99D $.50 Ea. Hope this helps. :) Mark |
Thanks Mark :)
However, I forgot to mention that the item needs to be original Estes and in absolut mint condition. |
Ok I think I can still help you out . :)
I just happen to have one from my Enterprise. Go to my webb site and email me and we will see if we can get this to you. I will go ahead and get one from Carl. :) Talk to you later. Mark |
Leo don't do it!! Don't Ebay it!! YOU MUST BUILD IT!! Come to the light! :D :) :p :rolleyes:
At least I assume that is why you need an original mint condition internal ring. I mean it wouldn't be important if you had a non-Estes part on the inside of the rocket, if you were GONNA BUILD IT!! :rolleyes: ;) |
Well ... you see, I'm a rocket weirdo :o
My kits have to be in their original form. Even my Estes clones are only made with original Estes parts. Case in point: If the original kit came with the simpler older engine hook then the same type has be used even though the newer engine hook might be the better choice. I really don't know why but it makes me feel a lot better :) Maybe it's a principal thing :confused: I have no plans to sell the Mars Lander on Ebay and since I'm building the excellent Semroc Mars Lander I feel no need to build the Estes kit. I just want it mint and complete :) |
Good luck finding that one

I know the man only from his works. I re-browse his website every few weeks to see his kit list, his acquisitions and HIS UNBELIEVABLE FLEET, and I know why he wants an original. He is persuing an admirable quest, self-satisfaction. I applaud his efforts (and I'm glad I'm more easily self-satisfied.)
I'm going back to his site to admire it again; I'll try to fight off the lust and pavlovian response. Bob P.S. If he ever sells, I hope he gives us a crack at them first!!!! |
Still no luck on a mint ring so if anyone can help out please send me a PM.
Thanks. |

Leo, I got a few Star Trek kits in the garage (five I think) but they're the anniversary editions. Will they work? |
