Brief
Back in the early days of Ebay I picked up a lot of Estes kit decals that somehow didn't make it onto the rockets they were meant for. Quite a few of them were minimum diameter BT-5 and BT-20 kits from the mid to late 80's, rockets that would rarely be noticed unless you happened to choose one of them for your first rocket. I didn't, but I like oddball stuff that never seems to show up at the pad. The Estes Vector was produced from 1985 to 1989, but I never saw one in the wild, which of course means I had to build it.
