Default Centuri Excalibur and Excalibur 2

So let me see if I have this right, the only difference between the Centuri Excalibar and
Excalibur 2 is the addition of the Centuri of the #8 Booster unit kit, right? Both models are identical just that the Excalibur 2 has the #8 Booster kit thrown in the kit and a new kit face card with "Excalibur 2". I just picked up a large box of old centuri kits from and old hobby store (cira 1972) that went out of business, lot of old kit partically opened and missimg a few parts, but I think I can replacemost most parts via Carl at Semroc. It's just a pain to sort all this things out, what a mess..but a cool mess to sort out.

Other than the addition of a booster, the "factory" color scheme for the Excalibur :2 is slightly different and it also includes an Excalibur @ decal instead of the plain one.
That's really all the differences.

Default Re: Centuri Excalibur and Excalibur 2

Intersting, Both kits (Excalibur and Excalibur 2 ) I have have the same decal, huh.
Maybe the Centuri folks on the line made a mistake when packing the Excalibur 2 kit (maybe it was a Friday or Monday)
Does anyone have the Excalibur 2 decal they could scan?
