I can bet that was one of the three Side Kicks I built for Estes. That one has the revised decals with a darker orange. I can make out some subtle details in the models on the back table that tell me which ones I built. When Estes releases the new kits for sale, the builds will be featured on my blog.

Sorry about mispelling your name. Will go fix in my post (and try to remember to spell it right next time I mention you.....)

Those Yellow colored parts are 3D printed Parts. No sense going through all the trouble of creating a test vacuum formed part when you can just print the part. Some of the Yellow parts are injection molded and some are vacuum formed. Those images were taken at the Estes Board Meeting this past Weekend, which is why Gleda is not in the pictures. John Boren |

Thanks, John, on both counts.

Glad to know about the Saturn 1B. I’ve got one that’s built, needs paint. I sent another as a gift to a rocket friend for Christmas. Looks like I could restock this year — but I still have one more oldie. Found at Ace Hardware years ago for $39, high on the shelf in the Kitchen Dept.

This looks like it will be an extremely difficult build:

Wow, you could have at least warned us how exhausting it was gonna be to read through that ENTIRE instruction sheet! I truly do hope that has been pegged as a Skill Level 5 kit!

Yeah, that thing ought to be a real beast to build.
Now if it was just 1967 and you had to CARVE the leaper out of a balsa block....

You’ll need a Guillotine for that one! Keep the instructions in case a leg gets loose and you can’t remember what to do.
