There are a lot of interesting Estes kits from the 1980’s that only appeared in either one or two catalogs. Also, a lot of these are difficult to clone because of unique plastic parts.

Finished the Attack Craft Orion
I finished up the first of 3 I received, the Attack Craft Orion. Great kit quality. The fins were the wrong size but I did not realize till the decals were to go on. No worries, I trimmed them and it looks great. Rick is going to send a replacement with correct size fins, which is very appreciated. Started on the Orion already. Looking forward to the Rigel-3 kits when they are ready.

I'm looking forward to that Rigel 3 kit as well.
Hope it comes sooner than later. I may go 24mm in the Rigel 3 booster; it's big enough to be able to handle a 24mm booster and the C11 provides much more kick than anything currently available in 18mm.

If you are going 24mm on the booster, go 24mm on the upper stage as well. boosters that can use a C11-0 need to either be taped the upper stage motor or vented to ensure upper stage ignition ignition.

If I go that route, it would be vented.
The Comanche-3 works fine without venting or taping and that is 24 to 18mm.
