A few weeks back, I had constructed a BSG Viper clone using Semroc ST-10s for the turbos and a nose cone produced by Mike Schmidt at Moldin Oldies. I tried making my own decal set from the JimZ scans, but the ink bled like a stuck pig :( A check of Excelsior's products didn't show any Viper decals, so I ordered a couple of sets from Tango Papa. His website says to allow 4 weeks, and my order arrived in 3; I must confess to getting a little impatient - Phred has me spoiled :)
Well tonight, I finally finished my Viper - the decals from Tango Papa came in yesterday, and I applied them this evening. Here's a couple of pics:

I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out... A special thanks goes to Mike Schmidt at Moldin Oldies, who made the nose cone. For those of you interested, details of the construction are in my rocket blog (http://www.billcooke.org/rocketblog).
