The ones I noticed discontinued were the #3228 V-2 and the #1293 Black Brant III.

Look at the list on YORS and you'll see all the rest.

Funny - I was in a HobbyTownUSA store this afternoon and they had four Black Brant IIIs in stock.

I wouldn't assume the Guardian and Nova Payloader aren't continuing into 2021 either....since they are not in the Estes catalog anyway after their reissue through AC Supply in 2018.

If you are lamenting the fact that you wanted a V-2, but never got one, there is a better solution — the Spacemonkeys V-2 kit. A really nice, super detailed (and scale) V-2 kit. It is about the size as the Estes kit. If you want to fly it, it needs an Flight Conversion kit (from Apogee) which adds to the cost (or you could roll your own, but the creation of centering rings of the right size would be a bit of an effort).

Check it out (and no, James Duffy is not paying me to say this ):

I have a couple Estes V-2s stored for future building but I do like Duffy’s model - he put a lot of effort into getting it as right as it could be without breaking the bank. His website and videos are great - I’ve watched The V-2 in America multiple times. If I was into accurate scale modeling I’d already have one of his kits...I’ll most likely buy one eventually...

Estes discontinued the Alpha?? Heresy! Sacrilege! Say it isn't so......And the Red Max and Interceptor are gone again!

OK, I see. Last avail in 2020 are gone. Duh!! :-)

I didn't count the Guardian and Nova Payloader when I added up all the 2020's in the list to see what was discontinued.

I'll change those two to 2021 if you feel AC Supply is still able to order them from Estes.

I have the two Alpha's listed with a 2021 date.

Just got my hard copy in the mail today!

Hot off the press but very, very, very cold out of the mailbox.

Scott,

Oh...OK. I just saw the "last available" column saying 2020 and figured they were in that count.

As for future availability - all I can say right now is that they are both shown on AC Supply's site in all three contexts (singly, 12-packs and that mixed bulk pack that's four of each plus four Alpha IIIs). I suppose I can ping Doug Wilmes and ask.
