Ahh, yes, Jimi!
Those Citations were well-wanted when I came along! I wanted them all, except for the Quasar. Ended up with the Max, Bomarc, Vega, and the Patriot. Boy, I thought I had really arrived!!!
Spent the weekend organizing my kits: 16 x 72 qt bins full of bagged kits!! Geez! (Mywife had several OTHER colorful comments, though)!

Hi Allen, That is the only Citation kit I do not have also is the Quasar in the box by itself. I no longer have my commander with me, single again after being married over 28 years. But I will say back in 1974 she was building some rockets with me. By the way I just put more pics up on more vintage kits. Take Care, Jimi

Hi Jimid,

Just started to add images from your posts to the Estes kit databases. Was able to upload the Big Bertha and Spaceman no hangtag kits. More are on the way as time allows. I had never seen the early Big Bertha until you posted. Please keep up the sharing and thanks for allowing me to use the images for building the different K kit varieties. This is turning out to be an insightful project.
