The Centuri Spacemaster was the exact same size as the Estes Satellite Interceptor; they are the SAME kit with different decor/paint/decals.
If Centuri/Estes were not owned by the same parent, I'm sure Centuri would have been accused of producing a "ripoff" Sat. Int.
The same thing went on with the Boeing ALCM Cruise Missile kit, except the Centuri version was first in this case.

The S.W.A.T. was a "Jumbo" version of the Satellite Interceptor/Spacemaster with a HIDEOUS paint scheme.

Gotta agree on the underpowered idea for the S.W.A.T.; this thing is begging for an interchangeable 3x18mm and single 24mm engine mounting system.
Than again, some like to only fly to 300'-400' which is what this would go to on a single C.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
