Name that Rocket!

Here are two of the birds that I dug out of my attic a couple weeks ago. They are probably 25+ years old, but they both flew well on B6-4 and C6-5 engines earlier this month. Does anyone remember the names of these Estes kits? It's been so long that I don't even have a clue. (For reference, the tiles on my bathroom floor are 8")

I think the other one is an Estes Recruiter.

Holy crap! I just googled "1991 Estes Catalog" and followed the first link: https://www.estesrockets.com/media//catalogs/Estes_1991_Catalog.pdf.

That was a trip down memory lane. I built and launched nearly half of the rockets in that catalog in the late 80's and early 90's!

Thanks for the help, Rex and Fishhead.
