Maybe JumpJet (John) can answer this one...
Why did Estes re-release this kit with a balsa nose and no tailcone? I believe PNC-55BB is still a part that Estes makes as it is used on the Crossfire which is a current kit.
Also, from the 1978 catalog picture, it appears that the original decals were a deeper red...
I know economics has to play a role, but please, please, please don't change the classics! At least not the outward appearance...
Thanks and sorry for the gripe,
Don
P.S. Just noticed this also, that one of the promo pictures on the Estes website shows the model with a tailcone! My kit did not have one and the kit panel shows it with no tailcone.
