The MAXI ICARUS
This is just a guess, I have no inside information.
The original kit run was from 1980 - 1984. For the catalog page - CLICK HERE
Online hints have said it has only two colors (including decal) and not a scale model, which rules out the LTV Scout.
It makes sense - Clear Payload (who doesn't like a clear payload section), D engine powered and the ever popular (and available) PNC-60AH nose cone. That's the same nose cone from the Red Max and recent Citation Patriot kits.
Another YORF post teaser on the new Sci-Fi model from John Boren:
"As for the new SciFi model it consists of 54 laser cut parts that come from 11 sheets of balsa and 1 sheet of Card Stock. It doesn't use a plastic or shaped balsa nose cone but does use a set of plastic parts from a past SciFi model."

54 LASER CUT BALSA PARTS from 11 sheets of balsa?!!!
Egad! I don't know if I want to prep and fill 54 pieces of balsa.
The slightly odd history of the Darkstar makes it my first choice but if it’s the Maxi Icarus that’ll be good - who DOESN’T like a clear payload section?
