My response "kind of" agrees with Luke, definitely with tbzep ...

The 1A definitely looked ungainly, and I guess that was some of the appeal. Loved the long nose in black and white, on top of a green body. I never really knew much about the II until a trip the the Air and Space Museum, and saw one there. But the 1A was always an Estes model I wanted, and sadly never got. Love its great lines of the II certainly, but the nod still goes to the 1A.
