There are some pics in the thread.

Second of the two Stickershock kits that I bought during a 2 for 1 sale a few years back. I need to get another Max Family shot going here soon.

Since I mentioned it.........

I got a tube someone was throwing away last week and thought It would make a great max. So it begins, like so many others.

LG~

My first DRM. 24mm motor mount in it because it felt right.



Then, this also made it to the Viking gallery, since it's Viking parts, but it kinda has a home here. 13mm motors for this little guy.

My first Red Max was the Estes Citation version released by Estes in the early 1970s. I flew it quite often in my local schoolyard on B4-2 motors. I still have it.

A few years ago, I ordered a Thrustline clone of the Big Red Max and have flown it several times.

Finally, I bought and built the current Estes Red Max kit and the Mini Max.

I have an ORI Das Blue Max kit around somewhere...

Mini Ghost Max. Based on the white line on the Iron Cross decal, you can tell I made the decal. No need to supply white for the background.

Pumpkin Spice Max, because it was that time of year.

Der Square Max - far less artfully done than the official NewWay kit, but one of one. Still working out the decal.

Der Red Big Skull Max

Der Square Max - far less artfully done than the official NewWay kit, but one of one. Still working out the decal.

I hope the skulls are cuboid.

I hope the skulls are cuboid.

At one time they were hand drawn, somewhat artlessly. I was begged to leave it as is, but I primed over the "artwork".

My brother-in-law's Der White Max. Don't know why I didn't realize the nose cone wasn't seated. Fin crack has been repaired. Grandkids...
