Wait, is there actually a 1963 Centuri catalog??
My catalog files are whatever I have been able to find at Estes, Ninfinger, YORF etc., and for Centuri I have a 1962 catalog and a 1964 catalog. I have just always assumed there was no 1963 Centuri catalog.
But today, a forum member was kind enough to answer an inquiry I had by posting a page from the purported 1963 Centuri catalog! What?? Anyway, this is important to me not just because I want to see all the catalogs - though I do - but because one of my bigger long term projects has been to build every model in the 1963 (my birth year) catalog. I started with Estes some years ago, that's about 6 flying models, and I recently added the Mercury capsule and Phantom. For Centuri I've been working with 1962 - several ST-7s and then a big Aero-Dart. And I recently added RDC - and the Enerjet precursor - with their 2 models for 1963 - if I exclude the mysterious F-engined rocket drop shipped from some other company? Today searching yet again I did find a Worthpoint listing showing the cover (below). At 50 pages it may simply be what I know as the 1964 Centuri catalog with a different cover, as we sometimes see. But even that would substantially change my 1963 project. So can you help? Is there a .pdf 1963 Centuri catalog out there somewhere? And why hasn't it found it's way to Ninfinger? Thank you! https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...estes-474996720 Last edited by Tramper Al : 02-25-2023 at 04:12 PM. |

If one is not found, I'll send my full catalog scan from my personal files to Scott for posting.
Scott, you good for hosting the 1963 Centuri catalog if need be? Earl

I went ahead and sent the pdf to Scott. IF for some reason he is not able to post here on YORF I’ll get a copy to you directly.

Did anyone see this post by "PhoenixGuy"?
https://www.oldrocketforum.com/showthread.php?t=15945 It appears that he might have a 1963 Centuri catalog . . . Dave F. |

I have seen that thread, yes. It looks as though this forum member made a few posts (about uploading these cool catalogs) back in 2016, but none since. In any event, Earl does have the 1963 Centuri catalog and has kindly offered to upload/share the .pdf scan here. Yeah! |

The catalog is now online in the Plans & Publications section of the forum. Thanks, Earl!

Fascinating mix of products. Model rockets, plastic models, Jetex motors!
I like the sample high power models shown in the photo at the head of the large rockets section. This is likely the one place we'll find photos of them, so not much of a chance to get decent views to allow re-creation.
