Estes could up the stakes with a nice 1/100 SLS

I think we’ll see a returning classic NASA rocket - Mercury Atlas or Gemini Titan - before we see a builder kit SLS. But you never know!

I hope we see a Gemini-Titan. Never built one as a kid. I have Mercury-Atlas I got on a kit swap with a friend. Not sure I’ll get the SLS. An N1 in 1:200 scale is much more appealing to me.

Always wanted to see a 1/100 N1.

It would be nice to see some Estes Russian rockets, maybe even some other counties to.

The description of the kit on the Apogee site is helpful in deciding if you want to take on the challenge of building the kit! And Apogee makes it clear that the kit is challenging. If I didn’t have a lifetime supply of unbuilt kits, I might go for it. Maybe ...

SLS is now showing on the Estes website in the coming soon category. Package looks good.

Not a fan of "clunky" Cox-style RTF all plastic rockets.
Didn't get the 1/200 SV either.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
