The Estes Little Joe II was released in 1968 as a companion to the Saturn 1B. It shared the same 1/70 scale Apollo Capsule. The Little Joe II was Estes #K-30 and was introduced with a price of $2.75.

The Retro-Repro™ Little Joe II is a faithful reproduc-tion of the original. It uses laser-cut balsa fin ribs and smooth finished balsa parts for ease of construction. Heavy embossed wraps are included like the original with a paint-ready glossy surface. Two 12" two-color parachutes are supplied along with a Kevlar® shock cord mount.
 
There were five actual Little Joe II launches. This model is closest in paint scheme to A-001, the second flight, that was launched at White Sands, NM on May 13, 1964.
