Does anyone remember the old Apache model? It was a two-stage and I believe it was made by Estes. I remember it fondly and would like to make an upscaled version but am in need of some plans or pictures.

Thanks.

We're looking for these plans as well for Ye Olde Rocket Plans.

The Estes Apache 2 is the same as the Centuri version Tiger Streak .

plans for that ARE posted on YORP.

I do not have plans or patterns, but DO have the Apache decal.

I thought I'd sent those to Scott / Buzz - might have been one that was too green / unusable, if so let me know and I'll try to rescan with the ones I have to do for you this weekend ( maybe ) .

( note my decal sheet has slight damage and would need some cleanup , not just printed from the scan, but should not be a huge issue for someone like Phred, etc with good software )

OK, got the decal scanned for this one .

here's a link to what I have so far.

( and yes, will be sending to Buzz ASAP, in jpg and tif format )

Al, these still won't work. Your scans are still coming out green for whatever reason. I haven't looked at the ones you just sent via ftp, but if they're green also it's a no go. It looks like the problem is with your scanner itself since you said you replaced the drivers.

Scott,

OK, look at the ftp ones and let me know,

I can play with it more, but seems hopeless, could be the scanner itself ( it is an old IBM model, so could be on it's last legs ).

Although Buzz said the landviper decal I sent was ok, so who knows..... I have a few others ( some might need a redo ) to upload, so let me know.

If it's not working out, I'll have to try n find someone local to scan em for me, or would be willing to send a package of needed stuff if you ( or whoever ) can scan em in and return.

I have the Apache, AAA and the Pine Cap Super Sleuth as mentioned before. Not sure if I have any other needed items - do you still have a 'needed' list posted ?

( frustrated, but still willing to help / repay all the fun I;m having :) )

I have a high-end scanner and could scan them for you. I could also clean up the line art so that it is nice and sharp. Just let me know.
