I can't believe that someone is wanting $165.00USD (buy it now price) for a clone of an Estes Maxi Icarus.
As nice as it looks (and it really does look nice), even the starting bid at $85 is seems like overkill to me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Estes-Maxi...lying-model-rocket-never-flown-/272175677405?
[EDIT] A closer look at the images provided make me think that the paint job may be a bit "pebbly" down around the fins.
The kit is easy enough to clone (I've built two), save for the alps printed decals, but doubt that they're that hard to print yourself (JimZ's got 'em on his site).
