Next it was put atop this rocket, which was produced from 1984-1985.
Lastly, after lying dormant for 4 years, this mold was then used to make the cones for the infamous Strike Fighter (1989-1993).
Do the molds wear out, or do they get broken? I wish the ESTES of today manufactured a more diverse array of nose cones.
A special thanks to an ebayer who won this kit and was very kind to provide me with scans!!!! |
Moldin' Oldies offers this cone if anyone is interested.
