The '82 catalog definitely did have an Estes design touch to it. I remember getting that catalog and seeing how sparse the layout was and thinking the end for Centuri must be near. I ordered my Saturn V that summer just before my junior year in college.

Sometime in early '83 I wanted to try to get the Saturn 1b but was told in a postcard from Penrose that that the Saturn 1b had been discontinued. THAT really sounded sad and sure enough the '83 catalog issued not too much after that would be the last for Centuri.
