Brief:

T' Caveman "Der Red Max" is ostensibly a clone o' t' classic Estes "Der Red Max", first released in 1971 as part o' t' Estes Citation line. Although it is really just a simple 3FNC rocket, ya bilge rat, t' politically incorrect, silly "Hogan's Hero's German" humor and skull & crossbones motif made "Der Red Max" a popular, fun rocket. Blimey! T' Estes Der Red Max was discontinued in 1986, however clonin' Der Red Max is relatively simple since most o' t' parts are readily available - only t' decals and nose cone are nay currently available as individual parts from Estes. Ya scallywag! T' decals are available from Tango Papa, t' PNC-60AH nose cone is a little trickier (it was in t' now discontinued Estes PNC-60B nose cone assortment - many low traffic hobby shops still have some) however t' Estes Mean Machine uses t' same nose cone if you don't mind doin' a kit bash. On t' other hand, thar be somethin' t' be said for t' simplicity o' gettin' everythin' together in one box, so I gave t' Caveman Der Red Max a try.
