Curious that I found the same "helical checkerboard" roll pattern decal in a ('69 is what is on the kit card) Centuri Javelin kit. The kit art has the straight/up and down stripes. |

Since Semroc is interested in offering historically accurate "Retro-Repro" kits, this means that they could include the helical checkerboard roll pattern decal in both their Micron and Javelin kits and they would be historically authentic reproductions. (I have nothing against putting that decal on either of these rockets, as it is an aesthetically pleasing design.)

I'd GLADLY pay for a Golden Athena or Aero Dart, but the Aero Dart would HAVE to be the Enerjet 1972 version.

My Javelin had a #10 roll pattern in it - diagonal stripes that overlapped about 1/2". I think in 1965 they only had #10 decals

The Javelin illustration in the 1965 Centuri catalog (see: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...i65/65cen8.html ) shows it with a short, straight-lines white roll pattern decal on a black overall paint scheme. (In 1969 [see: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/no...a/69cenp30.html ], the Javelin's decor scheme was changed to the familiar multi-colored [longer] straight-lines roll pattern decal on a white-painted body tube.) The large "diamond checkerboard" decal that was shown on page 34 of the 1964 Centuri catalog (see the first link above) doesn't seem to have been made for any particular tube size (at least the description for it didn't say so), but it looks like it was big enough to have wrapped around #10 body tubes. -- Jason
