Say what?! They discontinued the Black Brant III?! But... but... but I only had one of those Estes #1293 BBIII kits! And it's a much older kit version based on a round in the older NRC livery that was distributed in the bag with the bright pink (fuschia?) header and face cards, from way back in the "Subsidiary of Damon" days!
So, of course I had to get online and order the newly discontinued/OOP version right away, in my case from Canadian Rocket Store! It was just dropped off by the courier a few minutes ago, in fact; and I must say that with its full colour rendition of the newer (I think) NRC/Bristol Aerospace livery it's a thing of exquisite beauty!
Will it ever get built? Nah, probably not... so maybe before the supply runs out altogether I'll have to order another one (or two?) to actually fly!
Thanks for the heads up!
