I prefer the upscale. It will be missed. Glad the small one is back.

I don’t understand why der red max seems to have a following. Not attracted to it the slightest bit. And I don’t get the theme. Who’s max. Why is he red. What does Germany have to do with it. Etc. Etc. Reminds me of Capt. America’s nemesis the Red Skull but nope. No known relation.
Sigh. I guess I’ll get over it.

The Red Max was a character from the 1968 season "Wacky Races" Hanna-Barbera animation. https://wackyraces.fandom.com/wiki/Red_Max
and that is why Max is Red!!
I'm kinda surprised Estes didn't get nerfed over that.

It's a Nazi secret weapon.
Might be a take off on the Red Baron, German WW I flying ace.
Yup, Red Skull was a Nazi agent.
Some people like the audaciousness and campiness of the kit. Something different, like Goonies. Read a little of the back story on the first page of the instructions here:https://www.spacemodeling.org/jimz/est0651.htm
