Well, for at least as much as the shipping!

Well, for at least as much as the shipping!

It's up to $102.50 already! :)

Agreed. A rocket isn't a rocket till it flys :D

Holy cow, Batman ! :eek:

This is only the second time I have EVER seen an Athena NIB.
I'm surprised they came with the wraps installed; did not remember that from the one I saw some 15+ years ago.

I seriously would not be surprised if I see this sell for over $1K !!! :eek:
They are EXTREMELY rare.

I was also surprised to see the wraps installed ..... the © 1972 instructions on JimZ explain in plenty of detail the adhesive, trim & placement for these wraps, as well as what to do with any left over scraps if one decided to use some of the capsule wrap pieces on the lower airframe.

I find it interesting that this model can not be finished to match the artwork on the box since all of the capsule wraps were pre-placed and installed from EnerJet .....

I wonder if the later "unboxed/bagged" Enerjet Athena kits had them installed or not.
I know for a fact the last of the Enerjet kits were all bagged, not boxed.
I have a bagged Enerjet Nike Smoke, and years ago I built a bagged Enerjet Egg Crate.

With only about 7 hours to go I thought it would have been well past $366.79

Wow, it went for $404.66. I figured it would be more.

$ 404.66 :eek:

Image that hanging in a rocket eating tree this time next week!

Sad to see these kits going to investor collectors rather than flyer collectors. Oh well...

[ghrocketman]

I'm cheap when it comes to buying collectibles and probably would have went $500 for this one....forgot it was up for auction before it closed. :mad:
