I picked up the new Estes catalog the other day and opened up to the Conquest page.
Why does this rocket look so familiar to me?
Is this a new model or a reissue?
Anyone get one yet?
I hope someone does a build thread soon.

This is a brand new rocket that I designed. If you are into Cold War Missiles then you may remember the Snark and Matador Cruise Missiles. One influence the shape while the other influence the color scheme.

Kewl!

I like the paint scheme.

What color 'Blue' is that?

I pretty sure I saw the resemblance right away.

But red would have been way too obvious.

I like the red. I had that kit. I didn't have a Matador.

Sorry, I misspoke. The color scheme was inspired from a Regulas II.

So....why would someone put landing gear on a test missile that is suppose to destroy itself by hitting a target???

Prototypes had LG and were flown remotely.
