Does the kit come with decals or do we have to make our own like with some other Pro Series II kits?



This kit is going to come with several large sheets of decals. They will be a pain to apply but, oh well.

Pretty much the same, just different color and the parachute is most lilkely not the same.





I see the resemblance but this kit was design 10 months ago and the first and last time I’ve been to that site was when there was a discussion of decals a month or so ago. I’m sorry, but it’s almost impossible to design a rocket these days that doesn’t have some sort of resemblance to something else.

I purposely don’t go to many other rocket sites since I don’t want to be influence by other designs. I don’t even go to the designer’s studio on this forum so as to not be accused of borrowing someone else’s design. If you look back at much of the stuff out there these days, most of it has been influence by what Estes or Centuri has done in the past 50+ years. So I guess this goes both ways some times.

I am not accusing you of anything. Thanks for updating Estes. We are all enjoying watching you work.

Although mine was designed in the late 70's and kitted in the mid-80's.

Short of that 1/45 Little Joe II or Pershing 1A that I wanted, but still pretty danged cool !

When will the Skydart II be available to get into my greedy hands ?

One of the very exciting things about the release of the 4:1 parabolic nose cone for the Der Red Max is the other Estes kit upscales and re-releases it makes possible.

Goblin
Patriot
Comet
Mean machine
Cobra 1500
Sprint (slight compromise)

I am sure many of you can think of others.

I hope the Goblin is next!

I know what you mean. Happens to me all the time. I take it as a compliment. Most of the time I do get credit, but occasionally not. One time it was our local newspaper. You'd think they'd know better.

That upscale Red Max looks awesome, I'm definitely in for one.

Does anyone have any idea what the MSRP will be???
