What Is This Quest Kit Called?

[jqavins]

It's a space plane kit. It has a tail number of T-201, but that's not the kit name. It seems to be OOP. I can see it in an image of Quest's 2010 poster, but the image is too blurry to read.

I might want to buy another one.

Quest Force Five.
PS Long OOP.
PPS Quest website might have body tubes and coupler if you need to repair it.

Yes! Force 5, that was it! Thanks.

The fold-over is right where side tubes end, which would make getting a clean cut difficult. And there is a bit missing from the top of the body tube. And it already had some scars from previous repairs. As I see it I have four choices:

1. Attempt to find a kit for sale.
2. Attempt a touchy repair. I'd make the cut, doing the best I can to avoid serious damage to the side tubes, add a coupler, replace all of the tube above the cut, apply lots of spackle and do lots of sanding, do the best I can for the decals.
3. Clone the whole thing.
4. Shrug my shoulders and let it go.

I'm leaning toward number 4. It was never really a favorite. I'm only thinking of replacing it because repairing one's fleet is what you do. (That is, even replacing a rocketk is repairing the fleet.)

Alas, poor rocket, I knew him well.......

Alas poor rocket, I knew him. Oh well.

I just picked up one on Ebay. Open kit, missing a couple parts.
Nothing that I don't have on hand already.
I love those older Quest Kits.
And the Older Custom Kits.
BTW, I'm still looking for a Custom Matra!
I just HAVE to have one....

Oh dear.
Oh, I like that kit!
