[as taken from the 1974 Estes catalog]
A spectacular model for display or flight. The most colorful and exciting Estes rocket ever!  Carefully detailed plastic wing pods, nose cone and tail cone. Two huge decal sheets.

[as taken from the 1980 Estes catalog]
Future version of a real interplanetary interceptor.  Deep space exotic design makes it the pride of any modeler.  Delivers excellent performance for really sensational flights.  Dramatic 18” recovery, two full four color decal sheets, and quick release engine mount. Plus all die-cut balsa parts and detailed plastic wing pods, nose cone and tail cone.

I actually own three of these.  Excelsior Rocketry has released some specific decals for this as well. You can make this a British interceptor, or a Canadian one!

The Estes Interceptor is an Estes Classic! The kit has been redesigned to include new improved parts and building techniques to make the Estes Interceptor easier to build than ever. With injection molded detailed parts and 5 color decals the detail and realism of the kit is better than the original.

Here's the Estes bring back that everyone has been asking for, the original Interceptor! Modern design and production technology has allowed us to improve upon an already great rocket design with the reintroduction of one of the most popular model rockets of all time! The new Interceptor retains all of the original intergalactic cruiser looks that made it a favorite for years. Our designers improved many of the parts and assembly of this classic, so sentimental rocketeers won't be disappointed! There are a number of upgrades to the original kit, including laser cut balsa fins, a highly detailed, blow molded nose cone, molded two piece wing pods, molded exhaust port and an accurately reproduced, waterslide decal set.

All these upgrades make for an exceptional building and flying experience! Towering over 2 feet tall, this new version delivers excellent flight performance on B & C engines. When flown on the recommended C engine, it's possible to blast this gorgeous rocket to heights of more than 525 feet. Be the hit at your launch site, get your Interceptor today!
