Thanks for resurfacing the story!
In THAT case……. I DO NOT WANT to see the Estes Gemini Titan re-released. I hate that model. I’ve always hated that model. I would rather lacerate my tongue with a rusty razor blade and then eat an entire ripe pineapple than to ever own another Gemini Titan kit. I would rather drink Zima than own another Gemini Titan kit. I would rather mow my entire lawn with the blade mounted upside down than own another Gemini Titan kit. I would rather listen to “Baby Shark” and “It’s raining Tacos” for a solid month than own another Gemini Titan kit. Under NO circumstances should the Estes Gemini Titan ever be re-released.

And...........................Voila!
The nozzle is glued in and the gold decals and wraps are on and the Estes Dark Star is finished! I believe the 3" glitter gold band doesn't quite match what was included in the kit, but since it's not a scale model of anything I'll live with it. My thanks to everyone that helped. Thanks for watching!

It did—as did the QCC Explorer. I don’t know if there’s a current kit that uses the combo. The combo I used was probably from The Estes PNC 60 set that included the one I used plus (2) other PNC’s.
