No. This is the very first kit Estes made. Uses a BT-50 with a two stepped nose cone.
OMG! Has it really been 50 years???! Day-um! No wonder I have so much "rocket crap" (to qoute the Viking Princess)!I had that kit, and a real favorite. I ordered it and some other things on an Estes factory tour on 3/12/66, which was 50 years ago last Saturday.
Here is a scan of a color slide I shot while on the Estes tour. Thess ladies were processing my order.
