Does it at least smell nice?I would love to look at page 32 in the new catalog, but unfortunately the post office decided to empty a bottle of perfume it it. So here I wait for the replacement.
As my dad would say Smelled like a French "cat" house.Does it at least smell nice?
They also had a SA-3 standoff scale-ish iirc, but any search now seems to bring up only the Sasha.All of these were sold by Estes at the height of the cold war:

It turns out powerful tools can be used for good or for evil. And we largely make miniaturized copies of powerful tools.If we're really soap-boxing it here, all rockets are bad mojo if just for the conception

Yeah. That’s true. If I built another, it would have the 24mm mount. I do like the C5-3 in it, and I’ve flown it with AT 18 mm D engines.Allensmith, I do recommend you install an 24mm motor mount though, as the ESAM is heavy and underpowered. I fly mine on an C5-3, which works well, but it doesn't go that high (a bit over 400'). If I were to build another one, I'd put in an 24mm motor mount, some noseweight, and use D motors.
My old man used the same line.As my dad would say Smelled like a French "cat" house.
... and an Estes SCUD kit recently sold for $224.50 on ebay!
I believe it was Centuri that had the SA-3 model.They also had a SA-3 standoff scale-ish iirc, but any search now seems to bring up only the Sasha.
Pretty sure you would know Bob, thanks!I believe it was Centuri that had the SA-3 model.
Just because something was done a certain way in the past, doesn't mean it's ok or justified.Regardless, Revell, an American company, released several kits of Russian bombers. Did we think that was awful? Did we run to our cry room? Absolutely not.

I'm not saying Revell did anything wrong (besides produce so-so kits, but I digress...) or shouldn't have sold those kits. But just because a company did something in the past doesn't automatically mean a similar business practice is fine to do today.
Who's "we?"You clearly missed the point of the post. The point was....
"Did we think that was awful? Did we run to our cry room? Absolutely not. We looked forward to more releases."

What is your opinion of Ford motor cars? Because Henry Ford was a serious racist, and Jew hater, and anti-union guy. The Germans actually gave him a medal. So is it okay to buy a Ford car or not? If we are going to complain about a company selling a product we don't like, then maybe it would be more productive to protest something that actually happened, instead of hand-wringing and grasping at straws to complain about.

Or how about Nike and Apple products? They use Uighurs for forced labor in their factories. Not to mention their Chinese buddies committing not only genocide against said Uighurs, but other crimes like forced sterilization, rape gangs, etc. What's your feeling on that? Or do they get a pass because you like their products?

Nope. Know your history...Der Red Max is WWI/Red Baron themed, not Nazi themed.
i just had to replace the remote component in my mom's ceiling fan, so i'm fully aware that the only thing in life that really matters is hating all ceiling fan manufacturers, however i'd like to point out that complaining about someone complaining is just as much complaining.
Erich von Falkenhein was famous for wearing one occasionally. He was in charge of inconclusive German operations at the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Verdun, but succeeded at knocking Romania out of the war and later took a field command in Syria, so he was pretty well-known at the time. He died in 1922, before the Nazi takeover.
If you are interested in Russian rocketry and the "Semyorka" R7 in particular, check out these free eBooks, available through NASA.I groove on the parallel staged R7 series of boosters. Love the look of the Vostok and Sapwood vehicles and such, due to the complexity of the models. I guess that makes me a commie rat?
...Except that the totenkopfs on the Der Red Max are not SS-style 3/4 profile ones, but are face-on, and some have pickelhauben, which were worn by German troops in World War One.
