Jim...just bought (2) Falcon blue skill level kits in 1973 packaging; one priced at $1.25, then other at $1.50. Both kits look mint condition.

Appreciate your posts.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

West Coast? Where

Are the fins for that Cobra die-cut? I bought & built one in '73, but can't remember if I had to cut out the fins or not. Thanks.

Hi JimiD....

I finally had a free evening in a CA hotel to check each of your images and update the Estes kit database accordingly. All I can say is WOW! You've posted some kits that Mojo1986 had not seen or included in his database (that he was kind enough to pass along).

The K35 Constellation with no hang tag was a surprise as was the K50 Interceptor with the RED double oval post Damon hangtag. These are really cool kits!!

I'm still not done checking all of the kits....maybe tomorrow night before I fly to Maine on Thursday.

Look for a major database update this weekend which captures the information from your images and the Mojo1986 database.
