The seller from whom I bought this kit meant well and took off the plastic shrink wrap to additionally pack each item in the box so no damage would occur when being shipped.
Ah well.. I only paid $10 for the starter set so there is no lose :-)
The B6-4 engines are daten 1987 so this kit must have been sold in the late 80's. |

This is the oldest kit I have in my line-up. It was the first version to be produced by Estes and came in a plastic bag without a paper hang tag. Later pre Demon Alpha kits came with a yellow paper hang tag which I also have. However it is missing half the parts.
This particular kit was missing the parachute. I used the mint chute from my spare Astron Alpha to make this kit complete.
