Default Estes Clone kits

This is my attempt at a Black Friday type sale. I’ve put together these Estes clone kits with all parts to recreate these classic kits. Each kit contains quality tubes and small parts including spring steel engine hook, laser cut balsa fins, modern Estes equivalent plastic nose cones, select-a-size plastic printed parachute with snap swivel, waterslide decals and a copy of the original Estes instructions printed from the internet. Everything you would have received in the original kit. The 4 kits I’ve done thus far are the Alien Invader, Attack Craft Orion, USS Pleiades and Xarconian Destroyer.

I’m going to be selling these normally for $34.99, but for folks here and this sale, they will be about 23% off at $26.99. Shipping will be via UPS for $7.99 or $10.99 for 2 or more.

I have 11 Alien Invaders and 12 each of the other 3 kits. You can private message me with questions or if you are interested in getting any kits. PayPal is the best for me at the moment.

Note: the decals were made on a laser printer, so the colors are not opaque and work well on light colors. The yellow from the Xarconian Destroyer show up very light yellow on light gray. The black body wrap on the Alien Invader will not be as black as the black paint. Also, the modern nose cones are not exact replicas of the old ones, but are close.

I’ll run the sale until the end of day on Monday. Thanks in advance.

gh, yes I will. I have the kit complete except the decals. They are causing problems. I have a good friend that helps with decal issues, but he is super busy. So, the Rigel 3 will still be down the road a bit.

Rick

I will be first on your list for the Rigel 3 !
Had one as a kid but can't ever find one on ebay.
Offering a clone of the K-21 Gemini Titan would be a good one as would the K-41 Mercury Redstone.

Rick, will you ship to Canada? I’d really like the USS Pleiades.

Ratchetman, let me look into it. I’d love to be able to send to Canada if there’s a half decent way.

It might be easier if you’re near I-465, I’ll be going by Indianapolis on my way home after I make my delivery in El Paso. Just throwing that out there.

Ratchetman,

If your travels take you west through Sarnia I am probably on your way south. I would be happy to have Rick mail stuff to my house for you to pick up.

Hey Gus,

I usually cross into Port Huron and head down I-94 to I-75 then to US24 to Fort Wayne. From there to Indy and then on Laredo and/or El Paso. On the way home I cross at Detroit.
Feel free to message me

Ken
