Anybody know the difference in the Photon Disruptor and the Photon Disruptor II? I don't recall the latter kit.

Edit: Ok, I found that the first kit was BT-50 based and the second was BT-55 based. However, in the 1991 catalog, when the BT-55 based kit came out, was labled as only the "Photon Disruptor" , not the "Photon Disruptor II". It's obvious that the actual packaging did label it that way, though. Same goes for the 1992 catalog, and it was dropped for 1993. Since I never ordered the kit and saw its packaging, I couldn't have known the BT-55 version was ever called the "Photon Disruptor II". Interesting!

I'm told that the Photon Drisruptor II was bigger.
(before we're done it'll get even bigger)

That is correct....the Photon Disruptor II was larger, BT-55 instead of the original which was BT-50 based.
Seems like Estes made their own SLS version several years before the concept was popularized by Semroc.
Actually I find the Disruptor II to be the better size....Estes got this one RIGHT, unlike the idiotic Trident II, which I find to be about as entertaining as stepping into a large steamy pile of dawggie-doo !

(mock seriousness) I'm afraid you Hawks have been exposed to *way* too much radioactivity. I mean, that always made ants and spiders bigger in those old black-and-white science fiction movies in the 1950's.

Of course, everything's got to be bigger in Texas, too, so that might explain things, too.

(Me, I just get around some. And I just *know* people from the South.
Like John. )
