I can name that rocket in three hints...
Actually, I like the little black one that looks like a Fake Wulf. |

I've stared at both catalog pictures...and still have no idea which kit it is.

There's one on the designer Special cover:
http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/no...a/69cenp74.html The X-21 is in the picture http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/no...a/69cenp34.html But the "mystery rocket" at issue is the Centuri Space Shuttle. http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...1d/71dcenb.html The "blackout" was done because the final decals were not done and the mock-up painting completed.

Well, since it was released in '69, I went to my handy dandy Centuri Kit List I have up on www.rocketshoppe.com and looked up all the '69 kit releases. Here they are. If it came out in '69, it has to be one of these models: FireFly Astro-1 X-21 Swift The Point Tomahawk Marauder Laser-X Little Joe II Saturn 1B Saturn V Nike Smoke V2

Taking Scott's release list of 13 kits and comparing it to the back cover photo, I can immediately eliminate the following 9 kits:
Swift The Point Tomahawk Laser-X Little Joe II Saturn 1B Saturn V Nike Smoke V2 That leaves us with 4 possible kits: FireFly Astro-1 X-21 Marauder Greg |

The Firefly is in the photo - front and center, just to the right of the Mach-10. Isn't that an Astro-1 immediately above the Mach-10? It's certainly not an X-21. No amount of black paint could disguise that. Plus, Bob said it wasn't a glider. My first thought was that it was a Marauder with smaller booster fins, but I had talked myself out of it. Maybe that's what it is after all. It sure does look like the Space Shuttle orbiter on a different booster, though.

Yeah, it doesn't look like a glider. It looks more like a big front fin rocket like the in one of those old black and white sci-fi movies.

Anyone who's ever built a Centuri Space Shuttle knows it isn't a "glider."
