I too am a believer in Rescue Rockets:
(2 !) Centuri 1/100 Saturn Ib's on eBay cheap. One was missing six fins; the other was missing one fin and a capsule and tower. Both are flyable.
Estes BT-101 Maxi V-2 - after a complete rebuilt, down to splitting the fins apart and regluing, it's flyable
Estes BT-55 V-2 - flyable
(2) Estes Interceptors - need paint; thinking of doing a Mexi-ceptor and an ADC grey
(3) Estes space shuttles -none salvageable; anybody want a built booster/ET? I have two.
Estes Swing-wing Crusader - salvageable but it needs ALOT of work
MPC Nike-Smoke - not salvageable; kept the nose and parachute
Estes Avenger -jury's still out; glassine is peeling off
Estes Midget - flyable on mini engines thanks to the simultaneous release of the Semroc kit
? Moondance - not salvageable; kept the nose and parachute
Estes Wolverine - flyable but needs a canopy
Most of these were acquired at least three years ago; there is a tremendous backlog on my work-bench . . . .
