Difficult - almost impossible!

Here are my ten, but I'm not going to say these are in order.

Trident - Estes
Saturn V - Estes (the only one I have experience with)
Mars Lander - Estes
Interceptor - Estes
ACME Spitfire - Fliskits
Icarus - Shrox
Explorer Aquarius - Estes
Gravity Rider - Sunward
Kraken - Pemberton Technologies
Laser X - Centuri
Strike Fighter - Estes
Saturn 1B - Estes (same as Saturn V)

Umm - let's see - I've gotten past 10 so I need to stop

As I said - impossible :chuckle:
