What’s in a name? Nova, Payloader, Super?
It’s amusing to me how Estes kit names can sort of sound related, but when you look at the models, they don’t seem to be.
Here’s an illustration:
Current Easy Build #2497 Nova, #1960 Nova Payloader (this example built in the first configuration of that model), #7248 Super Nova (from a recent reissue kit - called Supernova in the 2020 catalog) and #2155 Super Nova Payloader - OOP in 2001 after a three-year run - this one from eBay.
For your amusement.....
(There’s also has been a Starship Nova and a Nova Scout Ship and there is currently a Red Nova, but I haven’t built any of them.)
