Mine arrived a couple days ago. Estes has done a really good job with this one. The one little thing I noticed missing is kit weight, but at least length and diameter are listed. Each new catalog issued under the new management is an improvement over the previous.

A couple nice new kits in the catalog, and promises for more thru the year. Time for me to start building at a little faster pace.

We got the diameters in the catalog but still not the estimated weights - which are, again like the diameters, on the website. I know the weights are a crapshoot but I wonder why they’re not in the catalog?

That’s three pretty nice catalogs in a row, each one an improvement.

Did anyone notice the Saturn 1B rocket.
All white tubes?
What's with that? IDK?

As stated above by Scott 650, the Saturn 1b crew launches to Skylab itself had no alternating black and white fuel tank first stages...all white tanks.
