Default Centuri Little Joes Find.

I haven’t been here in quite some time. I hope all are well and safe. I’d like to hear from you, many I know but haven’t talked to in my changing lifestyle.
I recently happened upon Both Centuri Little Joe Kits, together in a lot. Where and how much isn’t important, but this was a fantastic find. Just wanted to share. I’ve picked up Many vintage Estes kits over the past 4-6 months. Back full swing. I’m hoping for your support and shares. I’m hoping these pics post. Enjoy. Dan.

Hi Dan,
Glad you are feeling much better! Been praying for you for many months now. Your improvement is an answer to prayer! To God be the glory!

Congrats on the Centuri Little Joe finds: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Centuri-KS...=p2047675.l2557

Would be great if you can take some up close photos of the 1/100 LJII components with a ruler to help document the kit.

Hope things continue to improve for you!

Kind regards,
Jeff

Jeff, your post lifts my spirit up,,, I do Thank you for your prayers and kind words ! I would Indeed love to share pics/info on this kit. I posted partially for this reason. While I did help in doing the vintageestesrockets website, I have been looking for a Centuri one. Perhaps some of us can get together on this... if it hasn’t already been done. I’d like that. I have other kits/items that may be useful and very much that needs documenting too. Bear with me, I’m a bit slow these days. Let me know what else you need.
Thank you again, and know,,, more great stuff is coming my way. Be Safe ! Dan.

Nice find Danny. Oooh, I see a green hang tag Nighthawk there! That was my first ever skill level 4 build to earn my EAC green iron-on.

The Centuri history documentation available currently pales in comparison to Estes. Members here recently put together a tubing guide which helps in cloning many of the old kits but what nosecones were availble in each kit when seems like a common discussion.

Nice finds, Danny.
I have a Green hang-tag Nighthawk kit as well.
Also have a pink hang-tag Astron Cobra, which is very rare in that last packaging.
Still looking for a Green hang-tag K21 Gemini Titan.

Very a Nice Story, congrats ! I know that was Fun.
Yes, I just recently obtained this nighthawk kit. One of many over the years. I’ve sold so many of my kits,,, thinking I was "done" ( what was I thinking ?!). Anyway, this time I’m keeping them, unless..... ?! ( I do trade)

Danny,

Glad to hear that you're doing well. I think that you've acquired more highly collectible kits in the last few months than I ever did!

Hi Stan, it Always happens. Just when you think of someone,,, you hear from them . Yes, recently I was thinking about what you were up to and how we used to dicker over that Balsa Cone Wizard Kit. Ha. Still gottitt ? ( I wannitt back,,,),,, Anyway, I keep saying it, things have always had a way of finding me. You should see the collection I just bought that’s on the way. I won’t elaborate,, just save the goodies for some more "show off" pics. Sorry we lost touch. So many things happened over the years. I sold and rebought so many kits. I know in a way what rich folk say about not having the money, but losing and making it all over again. Stay in touch this time , thanks for writing ! Let me know what you’re doing.... Dan
