Not a word.

However, Ellis did confirm that the 1/35th scale Mercury Atlas should be returning to the line-up next year.

I met Ellis. Not much to say but polite and personable.

Err, yes but I sort of promised not to spread it around....

I can say it will be somewhat changed from the last Saturn V issue...

No, not to routine visitors. This was a special setup for NARAM, which we had to apply (yes, apply!) in advance.

Perhaps the new ownership will come up with something in the future, but due to their engine manufacturing (and the associated large quantities of explosives on-site), Estes is subject to Homeland Security oversight so I don't forsee "let's stop in a take a tour" (like it was 45 years ago) becoming possible anytime soon.
