Default est0889 X-15

Just saw over on Facebook an Estes X-15 going for $90.00 dollar for an unopen kit.
It's a good little kit and to a collector, it might be worth that much I know nothing about its value.

I do know if someone like Jack Hydrazine hent, hent, would 3D design the nose cone this would be an easy kit to clone.

I refer to this model of the X-15 as the "Goony" version.

I agree with you. I like the Goony rockets.

I have an X-15 nose cone you can download and upscale/downscale for the X-15 Luna Bug.

Here are other X-15s I found on Thingiverse.

Thanks, Jack, for your response. I have printed some of the X-15 nose cones you have listed.
None of these has that unique Goony look. Thanks again for the cones you have given us.
