Centuri
T-Bird (three stager)
Orion (with vacu-formed wrappers)
Magnum SAM-3
‘Maxi’ Screaming Eagle (2-3 inch diameter)
Quasar (another good upscale candidate, like NCR did)
X-24 Bug

Would love to see a reissue of the Orion! One of the Centuri kits I wanted as a kid in the worst way. The big Quasar has been mentioned several times by Matt Steele as coming back in the near future - I wonder if we could see the 4” version from NCR and maybe a BT-70 based version from Estes? Sort of a flip-flop of the Great Goblin vs the Hobgoblin?
Squirrel Works has a repro of the X-24, mine doesn’t “glide” any better than my original.
