Default Arapahoe E stuff available

I have the available the Arapahoe E decals, decal location guide, fin patterns and a parts list to reproduce it.

The parts are available from SEMROC and the tube (BT-60) is 17" long, 1/2 of a 34" tube.

I am hesitant to post it on my site since nobody has heard from John in a very long time.

But if you want to clone this really cool model email me from the excelsior web site.

The decals, parts list and fin patterns are $7.00 a set plus shipping.

I could easily get the parts, laser cut the fins and offer it as a kit but I need to hear from John first.

I'm also inquiring about the Electra. I have the decals for that also.

I posted it up on my web page if you want the decal set.

It's on the Home page just click on "Buy it Now".

I'll take it down if John wants me to.

Now...how about the Electra?

That was the kit that I wanted to get from Thrustline when John put a hold on everything.

I would still like to build it.

John never actually released this as a kit. I hope he contacts you, as you could do a parts pack and cut him in on it. Just a thought...

I would like one of these as well.

I have sent him a few email but nothing back yet.

I looked through my Thrustline decal inventory and I have a whole bunch of generic decals as well as a few more unreleased kit decal set .

I posted the generic decal set on my site but I'll hold off on the Electra.

I saw an Electra at NARM 47 and was real impressed with the design. I'd hate to see a design like that go to waste.

Like Bob, I was looking to purchase this kit right before he closed Thrustline. I purchased the needed cone and boat tail from BMS at the the last NARAM. I built it per the Rocksim file listed on EMRR. Mainly needs a good sanding now( wood filler) and some paint. Been sitting naked for months now....I was actually going to see if you have that decal file since Phred produced them for John. Nice to see you are offering the printed decals!

Howdy fellas....haven't been around in a long while. It's funny that I come back on this forum and find ya'll talking about these Thrustline Aerospace designs. I worked close with John on both of these...the Arapahoe E and the Starship Electra.

It may take a bit of searching, but hopefully I still have all the artwork files on my computer. I've given up trying to get hold of John Rowan-Stern. I was hoping to make him a $$ offer on the sale of Thrustline, but he sorta just fell of the face of the internet. He was going to give me a first dib offer, but I never did hear back. I hope he and his wife are OK....he's a good guy.

I should have most of the artwork that I was working with Phred on for decals. Gordy may have copies in the old Excelsior files. Howdy Gordy remember me!?!

Anyhow....Both of these designs have a special place in my heart, so I'll help wherever I can.

Here are a few pics from my stash to stir ya'll up. That's Arapahoe E #1 along with an original kit....and Starship Electra Kit#2...(Very Rare)...I'm not sure how many he actually kitted up, but there weren't many.
