Something that bothers me about the new descriptive text:

This is from the online Cosmic Explorer (Centuri Centurion design)
"Just another great rocket! What can we say? Only that we employ some of the finest and best rocket designers in the world!"

I'm sure Estes employs the finest and best, but -
They weren't working for Centuri when that design was first drawn up.

And from the Phoenix Bird online copy:
"Another great "Classic" returns! This kit was recreated almost in its entireity."

I like the wording "almost in it's entirety".
They got the foil decals right, but left off the (Eliminator) plastic fin can.
