1978 was a good year.

'78 was a good year, but we lost a lot of cool Estes kits.
The Saturn 1B was the biggest one. Worst mistake Estes ever made was cancelling the K-29 as early as they did.
As many times as they have brought back the 1/100 Saturn V, I'm really surprised they never offered the 1/70 S1B after 1977.

Absolutely true....but I had to follow the narrative of the 78 catalog.

Looks like Roland has a desktop version for $8000, or monthly lease. Don't know if this would work for you.

That's a lot cheaper than Epson's offerings, F2000 and F2100, which are around $20k msrp.

Those prices for Roland and Epson printers are completely A$ININE by AT LEAST a factor of 10.

That's just way too much money for "stickers".

Decals are water slide not peel and stick.

Here is one drawback to ink jet printers.

In order to get good color and details for decals you must use "photo quality" and that goes through ink in a big hurry.

OK, back to the kit sales.

I have a minor head scratcher.

I have two BT-80 V-2 kits .

They both have identical face cards except for two differences. The face card (box ?) are the same, except (not accept) one kit, #1904 , the facecard is three sided and the other kit #1926 has a smaller facecard.

Oh, yea...and two different part numbers 1904 and 1926, most curious.

Anyone know why.

Everything I see from the back side is identical.
