Wow (spoken in a Ben Stein voice)...

The Sat1B is back!

And is that the old Cox X-15?

...A "D" powered egglofter...

...A 2" diameter, cluster-"D"...

...And a water-tight payloader for 18mm, with a supply of Sea Monkeys (or is that Sea Monkees?) to go with it...

"Hey, hey, we're space monkees!"...

So many ideas to... borrow...

Craig...

Did you guys check out the description on the Sat1b? *LOL*

A new kit not officially announced by Estes! An advanced construction kit of the Saturn 1B in 1/70 scale. This kit, although the same size as the kit released in the 1960s, should be all new, with minimal plastic parts. Approximate length 37 inches and 4 inches in diameter. Rumored to be powered by a single D or E motor. Correct pricing with more up-to-date and complete info will be posted when available. This info and availability is subject to change. Please note: this item, if made at all, will not be available until late summer of 2006, or later

Hehe, yup! I'll believe when I actually see it. I wish they'd make it available to build as either a single 24mm OR a 4-18mm cluster though. I'm sure someone will come up with a hack for it if it's released to build it the "correct" way.
