Estes - Condor (#0807) Gallery

The Condor, along with the Beta, was workhorse of my 70's fleet. In 2001, I plugged "Estes Condor" into a search engine, which led me to the JimZ site, which made a full fledged BAR out of me. I cloned one after picking up the correct nose cone (sheer luck) on a trip to Akron to visit my in-laws. Fittingly, JimZ did the decals. Since then I've had several in different scales.
