well, the weather on tuesday was real nice, so got some painting in, just brfoe the storms rolled through yesterday.
got some decals done ( I can rush ahead ont hose, since the white on these has been painted for months, lol ) , and here's the fruit of my labors :-) Estes Polaris clone ( been working on for years, lol ). Centuri Zebra II clone ( all vintage Estes parts,as original). Semroc parts and decals Thunderbird ( thanks to Carl for the freebie decals :D ) Estes Sunbird clone - looks ok in the pics, but the decal scan did not completely clean up and the 'background' showed in the decal, real opaque on the model - might have to try another if I can get better decals.( open to input, lol ) |

Nice. I like the Polaris even though it has UCLA colors. ;) I've had the parts for the Zebra II clone for years. Looks like I need to get started. |
Very nice rockets, Al! :D
I don't recall the Zebra from the Centuri line - when was it produced? |

Right at the end. It's one of the Centuri kits that's able to be constructed using all Estes parts along with the Magnum Hornet, Spacemaster, Tiger Shark and I believe the Thunder triplets. (Roc, Hawk and Bird.) There are a few others, but I'm not sure which they are right now. :confused: |

what Bill said :-) although I thought the Thunder series used Centuri parts _ I built my Thunderbird clone with Semroc ST10 , not BT 50 . other tailenders Bill 'missed' include the excellent BT70 Bullpup, and the Magnum Sprint ... which I've been hunting for forever, if anyone has plans or a kit :D likely a few more other than those, as well. ~ AL |

Don't forget the Python Fighter, the elusive third and final model using the PNC-50. That's the trapezoidal-shaped cone that was used on the Attack Craft Orion and Manta Bomber. Later, EV |
