I would assume it was the same part tooling from Centuri. Also, I never saw or built such kits, I just saw them being flown. It is entirely possible that the flyers made their own based on their memory and preference for the Centuri fins, but I asked two flyers about them and they said 'they came with the kit'. Definitely the old Estes version of the Saturn. So either the 1236 or the 2001. I bought a 2001 in mid 90's and never opened it. May have sold it last year in my "need funds" frenzy, or it may be in storage. Either way I can't examine it.
