    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.

    This is an old Estes Astron Birdie and is a perfectly preserved example of an Estes classic!

    I think the Birdie was certainly one of the most novelty of all rockets in the Estes lineup.
