Not yet, but I'll try to put something together for you and email it to you tonight or tomorrow. John Brohm was able to send me everything except decal scans.

Scott,

If you need decal scans, I think I've still got mine laying around. Let me know and I'll go look for them.

Yes, I do need them. Thanks, Don. I got the fin patterns you sent the other day.

Ok, here's a direct link to a pdf of the plan/template set. Will add the decals once Don has a chance to send them.

These plans are not up on YORP yet. You can only get them via this direct link.

You forgot to say "ACT NOW! SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED! NO RAINCHECKS WILL BE ISSUED!" :rolleyes:

Scott,

Emailed you scans. Both 200 dpi and 300 dpi. Browns don't show up too well in the 300 dpi, at least not on my computer.

Ok, Don Fent sent me scans of the decals. If you've already grabbed the PDF re-download it here to get the updated version:

You'll need to make an adjustment to part of the decals color-wise though. Don said that part of them are brown but the brown scanned as black. Here are the parts that need to be brown according to him:

The long rectangle under NAVY in the first decal should be brown and the two rectangles in the second decal should be brown.

Maybe Don can chime in letting us know what shade of brown. I'm assuming dark brown since it scanned as black.

Thanks for posting this. A huge help.

BTW, this kit uses an odd sized tubing. Anyone know of a source for it? I measure the OD as 2.5". If anyone knows a source, please share.

I have the original kit (built) and the only brown decals are the three that make up the 5/8 inch band around the middle. The green bands look darker on mine, by the way. The shade of brown is pretty much a milk chocolate shade (maybe a half shade darker, but not much) Hope this helps!
This is one of my favorite models, by the way. I picked it up unbuilt for $5.00 at a Goodwill Store about 10 years ago... You never know where you'll find cool stuff....

Don't know what shade you would call it, but the attached scan is at 200 dpi and shows the correct color.

Don,

I didn't use the 200dpi scan in the pdf because at least on my monitor, I'm not really seeing a brown there either. ;)

I'm looking at the scan on an NEC FE771SB (17" CRT, Trinitron-type) here at work, and there is a distinct color difference. It is a chocolate brown, not as in dark chocolate, but in a dark milk chocolate, slightly olive green if you look at it too long...

On future scans, try using a resolution of 300 DPI instead of 200 DPI. Most of the scans on JimZ and YORP are this density.

The scans I put in the PDF are 300dpi.

Craig,

The 300 dpi scans came out black. I already had the 200 dpi scans from a previous scan. Must have used a different scanner then. I'm using an HP now but it's just not reproducing the color correctly.

This one is now officially online at YORP. For those of you that downloaded the file from this thread, you'll want to go to the site and get the new files. I'll get better decal scans sent to me by Don Fent tonight. The scans we thought were 300dpi were only 200dpi. The new scans are 300dpi, plus you can see the brown better.
