Default "War in Space" new designs?

Hello All,

Model rocketeers above "a certain age" will remember Centuri's "War in Space" series of kits, which they introduced in 1980, just three years before Centuri's demise. Semroc is planning "Retro-Repro" kits of both of them, the Satellite Killer (see: http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts...s.asp?SKU=KV-73 ) and the Red-Eye (see: http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts...s.asp?SKU=KV-72 ). They also bring an interesting question to mind:

The Red-Eye's instructions (see: http://www.semroc.com/Documents/pdf/Red-Eye.pdf ) say: "Since these were done in the final days of Centuri as a separate company from Estes Industries, there were no later entries [in the 'War in Space' series]." Were there any additional, proposed-but-never-produced "War in Space" kit designs? If so, and if any documentation on them (concept drawings, or perhaps even prototype kit plans) survives, Semroc could possibly create "Retro-New?" kits of such un-produced designs to go along with the Satellite Killer and Red-Eye kits.
