Default Astron Space Plane

Are there any color Estes photos of the Astro Space Plane other than the 1971 main listing?

My original from the early 60's was yellow and red. I can't remember why so my clone had to be yellow and red.

I seem to recall an ad with that color...maybe one of the postcard.

Brush painted with model airplane dope!

Sandman's yellow and red color scheme rings a bell for me, too. I know that I saw that somewhere before, back in the day. I'll try to find documentation. The picture in scigs30's link is identical to the one on the back of the '66 and '67 Estes catalogs.
