Estes Condor #0807 Build, Part 1, Parts







Here's the kit in the original bag.

The picture on the face card is dark. Estes might have bumped up the contrast. The model is painted white after all.

All the parts -
The body tube is very tight with almost no seam. Paramount made better tubes back then.




The die-cut balsa was pressed with older, dull blades. The pieces will have to be cut and separated by hand.

  1. Nice, you are building an original kit.
    The Estes Condor was always a rocket that appealed to me but I never purchased.

    Bittersweet building memories!
