Estes bringing back the Orbital Transport

[modeltrains]

Got an email from Estes this morning announcing its availability.
Hobby money for July is long gone and August is already allocated.
I like the access panels on its decals.

Great news ! Ordering 3 today. 1 to open, 1 to keep, and 1 just in case. Just kidding.

Watch "Star Wars Toy Commercial - SNL" on YouTube

It is here!!

I ordered mine yesterday even though I have the Semroc version still in the packaging.

But this one is 20cm longer, therefore it’s better.

(Insert unintended double entendre here)

I got mine.

I'm going to design and 3D print a nose cone that I can mount an AstroCam.

Why do these releases always happen when I'm broke?!?

Yeah, I feel your pain.....

I finished up my Super Orbital Transport this past week and finished my Super Mars Snooper back in May. Neither has flown yet but here they are. Nice to build kits I built when I was just starting in rocketry in the late '60s and in "SUPER" form too. I need to get the originals again just for nostalgia's sake.

Great looking rockets - well done!!

Red for the Mars Snooper - very appropriate for the Red planet - I like it!
