The end of an era, the last Centuri catalog from 1983. Front cover says: Features Five Exciting New Kits! Plus New Firebird Outfit, and the Back cover features the Firebird Outfit:

Could not find these plans on JimZ, does anyone have scanned fins & decals for this one? Fins look similar to a Wizard/Viking, but maybe need to be scaled up, maybe could use Thunderbird fins?
I can redraw the decal from the catalog artwork, but not sure about the fin shape from the perspective in the picture. Thanks for any help.
I think the other new kits that year were Sabre, Zebra II, Tiger Streak, Python Fighter.
I wonder if that Firebird decal was sort of inspired by the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am/Firebird, hey that movie was almost as popular as Star Wars in 1977...
