Description

Envisioned by Estes designers to be operational by 2050, the Estes “Interceptor” is an ultra-sophisticated rocket that could patrol our galaxy for possible aggression by hostile aliens. Highly advanced defense systems, which includes photon and laser armaments as well as ION drive for extended tours around the Milky Way only enhance the rocket! This kit returns with quality features Estes is known for like laser cut balsa parts, two full color waterslide decals and detailed plastic parts including the nose cone, wing pods and tail cone.

Stunning Classic…
Well, here you go…for all of those of you who have asked for a re-issue – they did it for you! No rocket collection is complete with this most iconic of Estes kits. A joy just to look at, this rocket displays well (especially hung in horizontal “flying” position) and is excellent in flight too. One note, when I first attempted this kit as kid, I wasn’t paying enough attention to the orientation of the fins/wings on the body tube and I had them rotated over a position or two…so pay attention to which fin/wing goes on which line so that yours doesn’t come out all crooked like my first one…(I have a good – adult built- one now…!).
