The Defender, I believe, was Centuri's first cluster kit and was available from 1967 until about 1970. As you probably noticed, it was NOT in the '71 catalog.

May have been, in essence, superceded and seen as somewhat redundant once the cluster 'Apollo' kits were released in '68 (1/45 Little Joe II three engine cluster) and the '69 release of the two engine Saturn 1b and three engine Saturn V.
