Green Skill-Level Hang Tag Kit(s)
I'm trying to even out my meager Estes collection of skill-level hang tag bagged kits. I have a few yellow, pink, and blue kits, and one red kit. Seeking green kit(s), sealed.
I think these are all that were produced. I understand the relative scarcity and value between these kits, OT probably the most common, GT the rarest. Honest John Gemini-Titan Mars Snooper Mars Snooper II Nighthawk Orbital Transport SkyDart Trident Contact me via PM, thanks! -Paul

Here's a HoJo with a ratty hang tag. Looks like silverfish got to it.

I have a far smaller hoard than many on the forum, but most are valuable.
I have a green-tag Nighthawk and have seen those far less than the Gemini Titan actually. The Honest John and Orbital Transport kits are very common.

I have a sealed green GT. I know I should clone it and sell it but I want to open it and build it. I wanted one and couldn't afford one in '73. It's for the nostalgia kick ... so there will be one less on the planet.

I don't think I have EVER seen a green skill-level packaged Nighthawk on ebay, but have seen the Gemini Titan.
Both were in that packaging only in 1973 I believe. In 1974 they were gone. The non skill-level packaging is far more common. I think there were two Nighthawks on ebay recently. There are VERY FEW kits I would trade my Nighthawk for. A boxed, sealed Enerjet Athena is one.

I had no idea that the green skill level Nighthawk was that rare.. I've got two of them. Plus a 68 in just a sealed bag. I'm a sucker for boost gliders... The only Estes Nighthawk that I've seen recently on Ebay is an open kit being sold by goodrocks... Last edited by shuyge : 02-08-2021 at 10:35 PM. |
