Default Show Of Joes !

Some Of you have asked about my Little Joe collection . I have here a "Show of my Joes". I worked, and spent hard to obtain these. Yes, it’s partly to show off, don’t we all ?? Mostly to ask all,,, What am I missing ? Does anyone know of a production model I do not have ?,,, (and can of course help.?) Thanks and happy hunting.... Dan

I FORGOT TO POST THIS,,, ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL... guess I was too eager to show off.....

I have a KOSROC Little Joe. Don't recall the size. Four inch, perhaps. One of those to build in retirement with 200 others.

Yes, I’ve heard of those. Are they still in production ?,,, I bet they’re pricey. Got a spare ? Send a pic, too. That would be fun. Thanks for writing. Dan.

Hi Steve. Thank you. Of course, I must brag, because I am showing off a bit, as I said. Ha. Guess it’s because I cannot get out and fly anymore due to health reasons.
THATS a drag ( no pun). But I appreciate your reply. Help if you find any more Joes. (OH, I do have another version Estes K kit Joe coming now , too ! ). That’ll make 3 sealed. I have an original built one ftom 1967-8, too...since the 80s. Long story.
My new project is Saturn 1Bs , and Vs. I just bought that Centuri V on eBay. Plus a Old Estes 1236/K-36 one en route now. How i regret selling off my 1B s several years ago,,, when I thought I was thru with rocketry ( in my blood,,, what was I thinking ?)
Keep in touch, help if you can. Let me know if you need anything.
Dan.

Roachwerks Little Joe II.

Almost impossible to find now but the best flying scale model of that vehicle. Chan Stevens won NARAM with one and mine qualified me for the U.S. Internats Scale team.

My thread about my build.

Chan's RocketReviews writeup of his build.

Yes, I remember that one, too. Gives me 2 more to look for ! In a 60s NARAM, a guy built a scratch 1/30 one,,, his name is on the tip of my tongue.

Danny,

Some other LJII models.

Real Space Rockets (RSR) produced a very nice Little Joe II kit.

Sheri's Hot Rockets produced a LJII QTV model.

Roachwerks also produced a MicroMax LJII.
