There may have been more 1/45 kits sold than 1/100 kits, in addition to more of the 1/100 kits being completed and flown/crashed/lost. You would think it would be the other way around with the lower cost, though.

The 1/100 kit was introduced the same year as the 1/45 kit in 1969. It last appeared in the 1974 catalog while the 1/45 kit lasted through 1976. I know there were leftovers of the 1/45 after it left the catalog because I remember flyers with the kits and others being sold at a discount to fund international competition. That was the first time I had ever seen the 1/45 kit because I never ordered direct from Centuri until 1978. I think my flyers were on yellow paper stuffed in with the contents of rocket orders. One of these days I'll dig that old stuff out.
