Estes has some new kits unveiled in their Coming Soon page - CLICK HERE
A larger Maxi-Brute sized HONEST JOHN was shown at a past NARAM.
This one is smaller, BT-60 based. To me, a more manageable size.
The website copy adds: "More scale kits and this is just the beginning."
Let's hope so!

Hi David,
DeleteI did see that listing and the Sequoia too. Both are mentioned in the end of the post. I just thought these three were the most interesting.
Estes is recommending a D12-3 for the Goblin?
