I have a question about this 1969 kit. I built one soon after they were released way back then and recall if fondly. Is this re-release of the "1969" kit really the Estes kit with some enhancements or the Centuri kit? For those who know the Estes kit featured embossed paper wrap ons and no vacuformed parts. You also had to cut the tunnel lines out of the wrap ons and glue styrene plastic parts for the tunnels and fuel lines. It probably didn't look as good as the bit later Centuri kit but I would dare say the embossed wrap ons were more to scale than the exaggerated vacuformed wrap ons. Also the non-flight worthy F1 engine bells were hard styrene and not vacuformed either. So just curious if anyone knows. Thanks.
