Wow, that’s nifty! Sent me down the “which Centuri cataloged kit was in production the longest strictly as a Centuri branded kit” rabbit hole - I came up with the Black Widow 2-stager, anyone have a different answer? A slightly upsized Black Widow would be a fun build, especially in the later black/white scalloped paint scheme.

That catalog is very cool!

An upscale Black Widow would be a great project. Awhile back I upscaled my favorite stager from childhood— the Tiger Shark (from plans Estes sent me, but can be found in the Design of the Month files on Jimz). The original was BT-20. Mine is BT-50. I still need to trim the gliding booster stage, and may airbrush some shark-like accents to it. Right now it has the gray-orange color scheme of my original.

Thank You!

Love the "instruct and inform" about instructions. Unlike today's "instructions" which more closely resemble cave drawings.
