Visible Centuri Astro 1 on EBAY





A while back I saw this one on Ebay, it also showed up in a thread on YORF: CLICK HERE
In September of 2021, Earl C. won the auction for $502.00

Earl had been looking for this kit for years. 
It's a rare kit, it was only in production for one year.

Below that is the Cut-away ENGINE DISPLAY, another rare one.



Here's all the parts.

The kit was open, the fins were cut out.
The cutaway engine was painted and the parachute assembled.





The Ebay listing showed some of the instructions. I had never seen these graphics before.






There is some white sticker material to attach the balsa fins and launch lug to the clear plastic body tube. 

Cut out a strip, stick to the clear body tube - then the fin root edge glue would adhere to the sticker.



The cutaway engine was half of a rough sawn casing.




This is the vacu-form piece that glues onto the half casing. It looks like the original owner had painted the nozzle, propellant, delay and ejection charges.
