Got an announcement from Estes (email) which said the Little Joe II has arrived. So I expect them to be shipping and available soon!

There's a long thread about the kit in the Low Power section:

The kits I ordered should arrive by the end of the week.

Kosel? As in the Saturn 1B kit I have in the attic?! Bought it before the 1/70th Semroc kit was available. I also have a Little Joe 1 kit, but am having a brain malfunction
on that one. Too many kits in the attic. Calling me....

Need to cull the herd as I am not building a much lately. Building for the competition team and local contests.

How is it going Terry?

I'm willing to bet that you're referring to the old LJ1 kit offered by Yitah Wu in the late '90s. It was the basis for my first serious scale project, and the gateway drug to a serious lifelong Little Joe problem.

My thanks to Terry and James. I found the Kosel 4" Little Joe II kit that I purchased in 2000. I also have a Neubauger 4" LJII kit. Also found the Kosrocs 1/70th Saturn 1B kit that I mistakenly attributed to Kosel. Guess the "Kos" confused me. Did not find the Wu LJI kit that I had thought that I had purchased. Found a Cosmodrome Nike-Apache in a box of Estes kits. Guess it is time to pull and resort things this spring.
Attached please find the contents of the Kosel Little Joe II.

My Kosel Little Joe II kit was assembled shortly after receiving it. I flew it several times back when it was new. Now it holds down a spot on one of my shelves.
Thanks for the kit Terry!
