Rocket Identification
I have been selling James' Rocket collection since he passed away in 2010. I have 4 built rockets I cannot identify. They are at this link

The one on the far left I will call #1, the rest moving left to right are 2, 3 , and 4.
#1 is an Estes Fat Boy #2 is an Estes Maxi-Icarus with an INCORRECT copper-colored payload section; the correct payload section is clear tube that would replace the copper section. #3 - I have NO idea, but it looks Estes. #4 - I think is a scratch-build mini-version of the Estes AIM-54 Phoenix Missile

Thank you all so much. I thought #2 was an Icarus but it does not have a payload. The copper colored part is attached to the nose cone. I guess he decided to do his own thing with it. Thanks again.

I had no clue what # 3 was. Thank you.

I thought #3 looked like an X-Ray but something just did not seem right about the short-payload and the goofy-looking lugs.

I believe it's one of the 1990's BT-5 variants with plastic fin can and lugs. Had one, never flew it, but I have no idea what happened to it. http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...s97/97est2.html

Yep. It's based off the Estes Gnome E2X kit. Just replace the nose cone with the payload section. .
