Upcoming Designer Series Kit?


From the Rocketry Forum,
"Pappy" found an interesting new design on the Estes website - 

The model is on the Designer Signature page: CLICK HERE

Comments followed: 
From BarGeezer: "Might be a new version of the USS Atlantis."
From TigerHawk: "I’m thinking it’s a cross between a Icarus and Federation."

I haven't seen this design before - I don't know if it is an upcoming kit or not.

  1. There’s been some speculation that it’s a Shrox design that never reached production - which fits the general concept of the Designer Series. Regardless I hope there’s a kit coming to match the picture 😎

    1. Hi Openroad,
      It might be a Shrox design. Like Tigerhawk said on the Rocketry Forum: "I’m thinking it’s a cross between a (Shrox) Icarus and (Estes Star Wars) Federation."

    2. Perhaps it's the one that Bill Simon is holding up in the photo?
