I had understood that Estes models out of Colorado had bought them up, however it seems they did not buy the entire line.
Anyone know who bought up the remainder or who bought up what portion? View Public Profile. Send a private message to CoosBayLumber. View iTrader Profile. Estes bought everything except the Chris Craft boat line. That was only marketed by Sterling, and the owner wanted more than Estes would pay. Unfortunately, Estes bought the name, and promptly discontinued all of the models, except a very few.
It is possible that remanufacturing the steel rule dies to stamp the parts would have been cost prohibitive. Find More Posts by LesUyeda. Mike Denest. Received 2 Likes on 2 Posts. I spoke with a Sterling employee I forget who, though sometime before the transfer to Estes. It seems that a majority of the product line was destroyed in a suspicous fire in the warehouse that Sterling shared with another concern. There ain't much left except what shows up on eBay.

The more earlier, and obsolete stuff was either missing, or incomplete enough not to warrant duplication. However, there hasn't been an assessment as to what is within either grouping.
Odd about the boating items. They made a big splash at the Pasadena AMA show back in the 's indicating they were going to reactivate the old line. They brought out a couple models and then no more stock was available. If you Lesro Model Boat Kits Company Ltd didn't get on some list, your didn't get one. The flying models were "for show" and they instead were pushing the rubber models. No committment as to re-introducing any old ones. Then they were gone. Out of business.

That's excellent Mike! I was scouring the earth for that one. It must have been produced for a very short period of time. Sterling's ARF line was just too far ahead of its time No one really considered overseas labor back then.
I've got another missing piece. It's from the "S" control line series. The elusive Kit S? Missing Link. They may have been crappy kits, but the were a defining factor of our youthes Yup I built and burned my share of Comet, Guillow and Sterling kits. Boy was it fun!

Most of them as control line jobs because I couldn't afford RC gear.
