I would have to guess that the 20th anniversary year, 1987, was when the company reached its high-water mark, its zenith as a rocket company. The Hercules, Megatron, Nike Tomahawk, WASP, Javelin and Viking V (and the plucky little Hornet) were all released that year. Seven kits, including some of their very best work. Three more kits came out the following year. A total of ten kits, fully a third of all of the kit designs that they ever sold to the public, came out in that two-year span.
