Why bother redrawing online scanned decals?
I do appreciate the instructions and scans at spacemodeling.org/jimz/ and at oldrocketplans.com. Sometimes I use them for initial tracings in Corel Draw.
The problem - You never know when the decals were scanned and at what resolution. Every time something is copied, original details are lost. Many scans don't include a 1" reference
measurement. Sometimes the color register is off.
Working at a print shop probably made me too picky!

Things become pixilated when copied and transferred. Here's one of the windows before and after redrawing.
These are enlargements and the rough edges are magnified. Some of the pixilation would disappear when the images are reduced.
Your redraw of the decals really make the rockets look awesome. Thanks for posting and sharing,
