You can't go wrong with a red, white and blue decor with just the right amount of chrome.
Chrome is always a great accent.
I wonder how many tens of thousands of Screaming Eagle kits were sold. It was the first rocket for many.
A sleek, classic design.
The plastic fins are thin, you can see the shadow of the oval sticker on the right fin.
The nose cone is a bit darker than the red ink in the sticker.
No complaints, just observations.
Did you make a scan of the stickers before you used them? Of course it would cost a lot to reproduce foil stickers, but the red and blue would work over silver paint for a decent clone.

You might be better doing silver and red water slide decals over a wrap of chrome Trim Monokote.
Scans of metallic papers never come out very good.
Do you have the dimensions of the fins on this kit? Just knowing the root edge and or the leading edge will help a lot.
ReplyDeleteHi Jack,
DeleteThe Root edge is 2.55", Leading edge is 1.75", Outside edge is 2.25", Trailing edge is 1", 2nd trailing edge (shortest edge up to bottom of fin can ) is .75".
Hope this helps!
