Default GT Kit Parts

I was digging a Centuri kit out of one of my older storage boxes and I came across the Estes G-T kit (#1978) I had, which I received as a freebie from an Estes order back around '87 or so, I think.

I opened the kit at the time (not sure why) and looked the parts over then rebagged it. It's been in the storage box ever since.

Here's some photos of the kit contents. I guess that plastic Gemini capsule nosecone would be 'specific' to this kit (and of course the decal sheet), but that would appear to be about it. Seems that clear fin unit was used on another Estes kit maybe (MX missle I think someone else suggested), but not positive about that.

All-in-all, not a bad kit (as I mentioned in my original post), but I guess I'd personally be hard-pressed to toss down $300 for this kit.
