BAR Nostalgia:
The 1968 Estes Catalog

Catalog cover Back cover I've scanned most of the 1968 Estes catalog for your enjoyment. Way back then, Estes sold pretty much everything needed for the hobby, including basic modeling tools like knives and tape. They also had quite a selection of really neat kits, most of which I couldn't afford, but lusted after anyway.

I want to thank Bill Faulkner for sending me the catalog and James Gartrell for sending scans of the missing pages from my copy. Thanx, guys!
