Here's part of what I have laying around waiting for the paint season to arrive.

Probably red with a flat black tail section (part with the vanes)

Who has a supply of those?

Nope, that's one of my own inventions. I drew that plan up in HS back in the 70's and finally got around to building one last Fall.

Thats the Qmodeling kit. Highly recommended BTW. I have their Starship Vega that's finished and just got the Stiletto for Christmas.

The first kit is a Phoenix (Matt Steele) Brighthawk 2000

Second is a Semroc Laser X

Third is the Snooper II

Fourth is a BT-50 size Mini Vindicator

Fifth is the Pulsar Buzz original

Sixth is the Shrox Space Shuttle

Seventh is a Thoy Thuria and Semroc FireFly. The Thuria is one of the kits I designed for Thoy before Rich sold the company to Rocket R&D.

Do you mean besides me and Bob Kaplow? There's a dude down in TX that "had" a bunch he was looking to dump. I could give you his contact info if you want to get ahold of him to see if he still has them. I fly my original Birdie on shorties still as well.

I've got a Thuria and Cluros sitting around here somewhere that I got cheap from Dave at Red Arrow a number of years ago.

Who came up with the funky names?

Sure, pass it along. I bought a ton of A10-0's from Red Arrow last year to fly in my Midget and Beta. I had planned on modifying the FireFly to use mini's, but if I can get some shorties I can hold off on that.

I did. I'm a huge fan of the John Carter of Mars books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Thuria and Cluros were the "Barsoomian" names for the Martian moons. The Sci Fi kit I designed for Rich that never made the store shelves was called Tavia after a female character in one of the books. Here's a pic of that model.

I sent you one contact by email. The other one is in my rocketryonline.com email box, and that system (everyone.net) is down right now.

I believe I asked a loooong while back, but do you have any plans for that tavia? looks like the orion, laserX and interceptor together. i'd like to try to clone one, if you don't mind and you get the time for a parts list.

What is the orange and gray model to the right of the cobra on the shelf?
