Default Older Custom Rocket Kits Needed!!!

Greetings Everyone,
I am really in need of some of the old Custom Kits.
Couple that come to mind is the Serval & Bullet, but there are others.
I am not looking to add to my collection, but to build and fly them. Although if I can find more of one of something and the price is reasonable I would buy them for the collections I'm trying to rebuild to leave to my 2 son's. I may even do build threads since I'll be able to afford batteries for the camera again.
Also, Older Quest Kits like the presidential plane and lead ship and fighters.
I can't remember the exact names until I look them up, but you'al probably know which one's I mean.
Feel free to send me a message here, or an Email.
Thank You Kindly in advance for any help, besides Ebay.
I constantly search there, and I've lost out on many due to lacking funds at the time.
I have a back due disability coming the first of November, so funds won't be an issue.
At least for a short period of time.....

PM sent.

IIRC the Presidential Space Plane was called “Aerospace One” and the fighter escort was called the “AS-1 Escort”.

It had both tubes and fins I believe.
I had 2, but was forced to sell them during a bad time.

This is the kit I have, and has only tube fins. The Motor mount has been installed, and I've run CA along the top rim of the body tube. PM if you interested and we'll work something out.

Serval is just tubes, no fins.
I was one of the lucky ones. I picked up all the old Custom kits via eBay where I was often the only bidder. They don't seem to come up so often anymore.

Oh, no. Just the ones I was interested in. I bought parts from Custom to make the Bullet and Lamprey, but everything else was eBay or a castoff from someone who bought it and decided not to build it.
