260 Space Booster Build Part 18 Decal Plan

The instructions say to cut the decals from the Estes #D5 decal sheet. That decal sheet isn't at hand!
I'd have to draw it up and print decals at home.

The rocket drawing on page two of the instructions was enlarged until the body tube width (on the screen) was 1.637" or the width of a BT-60 tube.

The USAF type style was matched as close as I could using available fonts. The best I found was "Amarillo USAF".
To get the black stripes to the right width, rectangles were drawn over the enlarged drawing from the instructions.
The USAF and U S AIR FORCE will be the only water slide decals. The black bands and stripes will be cut from blackboard Contact Paper.
