Estes Payloader II TM Classic Series Rocket Kit The Estes Classic Series is a line of rocket products that were introduced to the modeling world during the 1970s and 1980s. This period is fondly remembered by many as the Golden Age of Model Rocketry, when new exotic designs were appearing at anastonishing rate.

Estes has gone back to the archives, pulled up old drawings and spec sheets and brought these fantastic flying machines back for old and new rocketeers to enjoy. Each kit has been reproduced and updated while still retaining the classic lines of the original. In terms of the kit quality, not much has changed since they were first seen on the market over 20 and 30 years ago. They all have our high quality body tubes, balsa nose cones and laser cut balsa fins. While we cannot turn back the hands of time, we can once again enjoy many of these wonderful models and capture a little of our youth in the process. SKILL LEVEL 1: Requires some painting, gluing and sanding. Features laser-cut balsa fins, slotted body tubes, plastic nose cones and self-adhesive decals. Step by step instructions make building very easy. Assembly takes at least an afternoon.
