I have a question for you,many of the older estes kits have within the decal sheet the #3.
The Starbird #1954, #1973, KC-4, #1920 just to name a few. Any history on this?

That's interesting, never really noticed it. Possibly a venders number, who produced it.

I will try to find out and post it here.

My son asked me about that last night. We went through all the decals on JimZ and YORS looking for different markings to customize a rocket he's building. I had no answer for him. He then asked why the Mars Lander had a 4 instead of the usual 3. Once again, I had no answer. :rolleyes:

It's obvious, isn't it? I mean, 3 is half of six.

I can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned that yet.

Nah, I'd have pointed out that a 3 is really an 8 in disguise. :rolleyes:
