As mentioned, both were PS II SPEV kits.
The Scion fins were reversed Leviathan fins. What's funny is they bundled four fins together (the Leviathan has four) but the Scion only has three. I still have the extra fin in my parts stash.
IIRC like the original PS II kits there were no decals (with the exception of the Prowler). Some models had paint masking templates on the website, don't remember if the Sahara had one.
I would attach a pic but it's still nekkid, and she's shy.


I have the Scion, Sahara, and Panavia in the Estes Kit List as being available only in 2016. I must have seen it on the Estes Web site and added them to the list. Next update I should add a note to all the non-catalog kits and starter sets saying "Not in Catalog".
