And are you going to add the tiny strakes to the Eliminator fins, or leave as is? Do you have a scan of the original decals? Or will you be using the Estes version? Appreciate your feedback.
I apologize for the delayed reply; either YORF or my ISP does some kind of "system house-keeping" late at night, which makes it impossible to open YORF to read or post anything. I wouldn't be making the tubing connectors myself. I was just gathering information (on my own) for another YORF member who might--but might not--be interested in 3D printing them. The Eliminator (see: http://www.amazon.com/Estes-1950-El...t/dp/B0007UDS84 ) appears to have the little forward fin strakes.
