Estes - Raven Gallery (#2029)

This Estes rocket was only available from 1990-1991.

A nice and sleek BT-60 based rocket with stick-on decals.

Wow, I love the paint job...How did you get the silver stripes so clean. :wink:

Here's my Raven.

I thought it was a good looking kit. I, too, wonder why it had such a short existance.

Huh... Sorta looks like a short Mean Machine... with a different nose cone, of course.

I love going through my collection of old plans/decals. I just turned up the Raven's plans... Forgot I even bought it (I picked it up for the NC/body tube). It became either a Sentinel or a Magnum. Now where did those decals disappear to?

The Estes Raven was a kit I bought via Ebay to clone the National Aerospace Plane. I thought the Raven was boring. I used the nose cone and body tube for that project, but kept the fins and decal just in case. A few years later I saw Leo's Raven kit and realized what a cool looking bird it was. The rest, as they say, is history.
