Have you seen the "updated" version of that kit?

https://www.siriusrocketry.com/Atlantis01.htm

The original is pretty hard to come by.

Hard to come by, but easy to clone. The detail parts are all balsa, paper disks, and dowels. Decal scans are available.

Thanks for the input
I did see the Sirius version but and its awesome but a lot bigger than the original

Never done a clone before may go that route.

Default Here's the Parts List from the Now-Defunct Semroc Website,

...and the available laser-cut parts from the New Semroc-Parts-Perveyors, eRockets.biz. I bet you can One-Stop-Shop your parts from eRockets.

This kit comes up from time to time on Ebay. Just search 'Estes Atlantis' in Toys And Hobbies, then save the search. You will get an email when one comes up for sale.

Yes and no.....

I have an Atlantis that I am cloning. The only part you can't get from eRockets is the PNC-50X. They do have a marvelous copy in balsa, but I have been on the look out for the plastic nose cone for about six months now.
