Default estes rocket collection.

I have a large collection of unopened Estes rocket kits I'm thinking of selling. My son and I no longer fly rockets so I am thinking of selling everything.
Would anyone be interested?

Send me a message if you want to work out a deal on the HJ. I have quite a few Estes kits, mostly scale models used during the US space program. I have both the Little Joe and Little Joe II, Mercury-Redstone, Saturn 1B and Saturn V models. Don't know if I'll ever get around to building them or not.


This is a launch using a J-460 Aerotec motor. It probably went 1500 feet or so, best I can remember. These are scanned prints, made in the 1990's. The small rocket in my left hand is a Black Brant sounding rocket, it used G and H motors. All of my high power rockets were scratch built.

Hello, sorry for the delay in replying back. Your massage got lost in a spam filter. I still have everything for sale. I've been busy working on my camper van and forgot to keep an eye on the rocket collection. Thanks
