Definitely using Estes nose cones. Some of the graphics are hard to see, so hard to assess deign originality.

Somebody is SERIOUSLY SMOKING CRACK with their pricing on these kits.
Just because something is rare does NOT mean it is worth a hill of beans.
A mint condition 1974 AMC Pacer is RARE. It is not worth anything.

Interesting. I've never seen the "Aries" before, but apparently somebody else has an "aesthetic eye" that's similar to mine.
