Since the Titian II didnt/doesnt have any fins, what color should I paint em, if the rocket itself is true to scale...(err so, to speak !!) My instructions dont cover painting the fin unit, just the static display engine unit...
Thanks guys...

Exactly which kit are you talking about? The original Estes kit had clear plastic fins on a clear plastic tube that could slide on for flight and off for display.

I believe it is the Neubauer 4" OD GT.

If it were me, I would say a matte, neutral blue-gray. That is so they would be hard to see while going up, so that it looks like one of the real GT flights.

But this is a "Dealer's Choice" situation. Your make the call.

Ok. But you have to say that with a Carl Spackler (aka, Bill Murray) of "Caddyshack" voice. :D
