Default Citation Patriot returning?

I see that Estes is supposed to bring back the Citation Patriot early next year (yay!) But looking at the image of it on the Estes website the PNC looks too pointy. Maybe not.

Looks like a PNC-60AH to me. If not, I'd just get one out of a Super Alpha kit.

It is the correct nose cone which is the same one used on the Goblin, if memory serves me.

Different sizes.
Citation Patriot is PNC-60AH (Red Max, Mean Machine, Screamin Mimi, Super Alpha, Omega)
Goblin is PNC-55AO (Photon Probe, Photon Disruptor, BBZ, Vigilante, Cobra 1500)

I'm sorry your correct. The nose cone is the same as used on the Der Red Max and Mean Machine.

Those two nose cones are on some of the most classic Estes birds. I've turned a bunch of them in various scales.

They’ve been using these weird forced perspective renderings on all their new packaging. Centuri used to do that back in the day, but not to this exaggerated degree!
