Found W.T.B.- Estes S.W.A.T. #2017

[mo2872]

I figure I’ll try here before going all-in on scratching one…….if anyone has a S.W.A.T. laying around collecting dust, I’m on the hunt!

Thanks!

You may already know this, but I'm pretty sure the #3027 Satellite Interceptor is a SWAT with a new color scheme. It's missing the aft cowling, which you can get from Sirius.

Actually, it's a BT-60 upscale of the Satellite Interceptor. Should still be an easy clone.

I'm sure you could, they look pretty similar aside from length and fin-tip nacelles. I didn't compare diameters though.

Did you ever see the 7.5" upscale article in HPR Magazine. (It's like a build thread made from trees.) It was a 1994 issue. I can scan it if you're interested.

 

[jimzcatz]

Yes, it was Neil Davis. I saw it fly.

Swat fin tips are bt20 it has an extended nose cone, other than that everything is readily available. I don't use the plastic rear nozzle.

Wow BT-60, that’s cool. Bill, do you have a parts list available, I’d like to Clone that?

Found! Many thanks to Jimzcatz!

 

[mo2872]

After a round-about trip from NC to Tulsa, by way of Tucson, AZ, I'm happy to say, the SWAT from Jimzcatz arrived safe and sound today!!!! Woohooo!!!!! (and, since you can't ever have too many SWAT's, I ordered, from Estes, all but the wood for a scratchbuild, too.......)

Many thanks again, Jim!

That kit is so easy to upscale with off the shelf parts. I have a 4 and 6 inch version made from fiberglass and wood.

I'm thinking a 2.6" would be a fun size for mid-power......
