Striking Colors & Design Review by Woody

Love the red & black color scheme. Excellent water-slide decals, very playful. The builder's guide is funny. Curious about the peace symbols on the screw heads! (Posted on 2/20/12)

Love this model! Review by Dennis

Always loved this rocket as a kid, my cousin had one. By the time I was old enough to buy my own it was discontinued. I'm really glad its back. The decals look great and it flies nice and sturdy. Hands down my favorite in my collection. (Posted on 1/30/12)

Glad to see the return of a classic Review by Donald

I had a Der Red Max 30 years ago and I'm very happy to see the return of one of my favorite kits. It's great to see some of the classics like this and Interceptor back in the lineup. I'll be ordering this one and a Mini Max as well (have to have them both!). Great job, Estes. (Posted on 9/21/11)

Glad to see the return of a classic Review by Don

This was one of my favorite kits 30 years ago and it's great to see one of the more stable kits return to the line-up. I'll be ordering a Der Red Max, and also a Mini Max (gotta have the pair!). Great to see some of my old favorites like this and Interceptor back! (Posted on 9/21/11)

An oldie, but a goodie Review by Wayne

I built my first Red Max many years ago, and just built a new one (with the great skull and bones parachute). I have upscaled it to a BT-80 body tube, and down scaled it to a BT-5 tube. I am building my newest Max with a D motor mount and a slight stretch to the airframe. Like the Big Bertha and the Alphas, the Red Max is a staple of the Estes fleet. It is versatile, and a great flier, as well. (Posted on 9/5/11)
