Here's my Estes remake of the original Centuri Star Trooper. As near as I can tell, Centuri released the kit in 1973. It was a rear-ejection, plastic nose cone, high-altitude 13mm design.
This Estes version uses the more traditional nose-separation streamer recovery. I finished mine in Rustoleum green, and I opted for Rustoleum metallic gold for the nose because all of that green and yellow was starting to look like a John Deere tractor.
No flights yet, but I'm betting that an A3 will put this one out of sight.
