I am asking $75
This kit is offered for sale in an effort to liquidate my collection of kits and is being offered via cross postings on The Rocketry Forum and Ye Olde Rocket Forum. The price indicated is what I have determined by looking for evidence of similar sales but, admittedly, might reflect a poor judgement on my part. I'm just doing the best that I can. The price does NOT include shipping. Interested persons are invited to contact me via PM and I will calculate the shipping. Payment is expected by means of PayPal, Zelle or Venmo. My intention is to make shipments twice per week after confirming receipt of funds. I will try to give the most accurate descriptions I am able to provide and will happily answer any specific questions either by PM or within the post thread.

This was my first vintage kit from eBay back in 2001. I think I paid $16 for mine, including postage. I was so excited to get it, and when it showed up, the original packaging was water damaged and looked to have been used as a seat cushion. I scanned everything and sent it off to JimZ because the plans didn't show up anywhere on the interwebs. Surprisingly the only damage inside was the tip of the nose cone, which I managed to salvage rather artfully. Took forever, but I eventually got it built, painted, decaled and flown. Those MPC decals are a pain to work with, but they really bring a lot to the table if you can get them to release from the backing paper.
