Manufacturer:Estes

This project was inspired by a post in t' NARRRRR Group on Facebook. Begad!  Louie Berlin had a picture o' his lineup o' Estes Rogues, one o' which was obviously oversized. Avast, me proud beauty!  Bein' t' owner o' five Rogues myself, a BT-5 downscale, matey, a BT-20 original, matey, BT-50 and BT-55 upscales, and a BT-60 QModelin' version, I was instantly intrigued. Blimey!  Louie had gone me one better, arrr, with what looked t' be a BT-80 version with a custom nose cone. Ahoy!  I made a mental note t' save me pennies and talk t' Sandman about a custom cone, but after conferrin' with Louie, I learned that he had just gone t' simple route o' buyin' an Estes PSII Nike Smoke kit, and goin' from there. Well, blow me down!  

I ordered me PSII Nike Smoke that night from Hobbylinc.  Quite t' bargain.

(Apologies for t' truncated kit pic. Ahoy!  I'd already started t' project when I decided t' do t' build on here.)
