Steve, great post as always. The Birdie is one of those kits that is interesting but easy to clone. The birdie that Estes used was different than most with its white nose and swirling ribs. I've made a few with whatever birdies I could find. I really wanted one like the Estes Birdie. So, I've spent the last several years searching for ones like Estes used. Not desperately but, occasionally looking. For many years. So it's weird that you post this in the same time frame that I found a canister of the Estes style Birdies. It's the little things.
