Default Stranger Things model rocket cameos

Some model rockets appeared on sets of "Stranger Things," Season 3, Episode 1. (All I've watched thus far.)

In Eleven's room, there's a completed MPC Pioneer 1 on a desk.

In Dustin's room, the box for the Pioneer 1 is on a desk, and there's a very brief appearance of an unpainted balsa and paper model that looks like one of the designs from the Centuri design manual.

Both these would be somewhat anachronistic in 1985. The Pioneer was last produced in 1972 or thereabouts, and Centuri was out in 1983 . . . although presumably small-town hobby shops might have had old stock lying around, or maybe an older brother had a stash of kits waiting to get built.
