Estes - Meteor (#1370) Gallery

After a year or so of sitting unfinished, I was able to complete another to my stable of childhood fleet. First and foremost I have to give credit to Mark at Stickershock for another superior quality decal wrap. Since the originals disintegrated upon contact with water.....maybe a blessing; these new, thinner vinyl decals are amazing. The rest of the kit original.View attachment 124650View attachment 124649View attachment 124651 The most recent completed is the "In-Flight" version Cherokee D. I don't know who produces the kits, but the quality is top shelf. To date, I have 2 of their offerings; Blue Bird Zero, and the pictured Cherokee. It's a shame they don't have a line a clone kits.
