And as far as I know the Sabre is a new kit, reminiscent of the F-86 Sabre of Korean War fame.


I also had purchased the Visitor decal set from Carl & Sheryl as it looked cool on the website but the kit was not released. When eRockets recently announced the release of the Visitor kits I ordered several.

From the kit instructions:
"About the Visitor: The Visitor is the creation of Jim Z. He completed this design a few years ago but it was never put into production. We at Semroc are glad to see this creative rocket finally see the light of day! ……………….………………...What is that up in the sky? Look at those odd fins and that aerodynamic design! Is it even from this world? No! It's a VISITOR "

I was very amazed at how quickly after Randy purchased Semroc he got pretty much the complete original line back into production and available. On top of that, with all of the other lines he carries, he has produced a number of very cool brand new Semroc kits, such as the Farside X, Mars Snooper, UFO Invader, Visitor, etc...
