I want to see this upscale! Pix please!
I cloned the Proton Torpedo and also the Star Trek rocket (basically the same thing) It's an easy rocket to clone if you have a good color printer and the generic EX2 Estes rocket. I also used the Proton Torpedo decal on the launch probe for the Darth Vader's TIE Fighter.
and here is a link to the clone project I did years ago.

I just picked up an old 1979 X-Wing project that someone started building (poorly) that needs some work. Looks like I am still working on my fleet years later!
Great Collection!!
Great collection indeed.
One thing I have long wondered: in what way does the Proton Torpedo rocket relate to Star Wars?

I wondered the same thing, had to look it up.
It was what Luke Skywalker used to destroy the Death Star.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Proton_torpedoYeah, I'm a nerd.
And apparently Estes took some artistic license. Since proton torpedoes comes in all sizes and forms, who's to say they're wrong? So maybe a Star Wars proton torpedo might be pink and have fins?
Nah!
Here's a Star Wars MG-7A proton torpedo cross section

Ah, so no physical resemblance whatsoever. Got it. 
OK, I'll grant that. I didn't recall them being pink...
Redline propellant?
