Default FOUND - Estes Pro Series II Nike Smoke (9704)

Hello all;

Returned to the hobby too late, by which time Estes had already issued and then retired their Pro Series II version of the Nike Smoke.

Any chance there is one gathering dust in someone's 'to be built' pile that they'd be willing to let go?

Failing that, I'll likely end up pulling the trigger on the Cosmodrome kit (and/or continuing to monitor the goings-on on that auction site...)

Thank you in advance,
Dave

UPDATE - Thank you Danny for 'letting one go' from your collection! I hope to do it justice in a future build.

Good Afternoon BigRIJoe;

Appreciate the ‘pointer’ but unfortunately their site reflects out of stock with no planned restock date. Lots of online vendors still have the model listed, only to be ‘not available’ when you try and add it to your cart...

eBay or a private transaction is probably your only option for a PSII Nike Smoke. I think Cosmodrome Rocketry had a 2.6” Nike Smoke kit - Apogee has one in stock, about the same size as the Estes version. Madcow has a fiberglass 2.6” version too - that would be a rugged rocket!

Hi. I have one available. Not sure about the price. Also I prefer to trade it for scale kits, particularly the old Centuri scale kits. Offers welcome.
Dan.

I've been wanting to get my hands on the HoJo, they are no longer producing them.
I believe the same with the Smoke.
