Earlier I re-drew the Estes Scrambler (BT-60) decals to fit the larger diameter body tube of the Green Eggs model (BT-65).
Corrections were made and the Scrambler decal is available to Patreon members. Email me at oddlrockets@bellsouth.net
and ask for the Scrambler Decal PDF.
Note there are two sets of art. The reasoning is explained below to the side of the third picture.
Placement of the wrap decal was dependent on the height of the original balsa adapter on the Scrambler rocket.
Old catalogs shows the TA-6065 to only be 1/2" tall.
Here's the wrap decal placement.
I set it about 1/2" below the body tube separation point, the height of the original balsa adapter
Note the black ink in the decal isn't as dark as the black paint on the green payload tube. This is typical of home print decals when set over white paint. Over darker colors (even a yellow base) the black decals look darker.
On the decal PDF are two sets of all decals including two of the wrap/roll.
TIP: To get to an opaque "black", you can sometimes do a double layer of decals. Decals are thin enough. Home print decals are always a compromise.
