Does anybody have a decal scan of the Aerobee Hi other than the Quest version that's online? I've got some old AAA Model Aviation Fuels decals, but my scanner is dead. My son's gap staged Aerobee Hi project is waiting on decals.

How about the decal from the SEMROC version?

(Noted: Your scanner is dead...)

Do you know how much larger the image needs to be to match your model?

About 2X. He's upscaled my Semroc model to BT-60 and added the gap staged booster from Alway's Art of Scale Model Rocketry.

just in case you may have forgotten:

The 1st MMI Aerobee-Hi rolled off the MMI production line on April 14, 1958. This model of course is at the SI/NASM.

Perhaps we should all fly an Aerobee-Hi on that date to commemorate the 1st production model rocket?

Well, still no luck on decals. I thought I'd post a couple of pics of his Aerobee to see if it would help drum up a little support.





Just look at my son....the poor boy really needs a decal scan.

I'll see if I can find my from the Semroc kit and upscale X2 and send it to you. Now, don't hold your breath......lately I go looking for something, find something else I was looking for two hours ago, come back and realize I didn't find what I was looking for and go looking again and find something else from a few days ago and........

That sounds just like me.

Even as a kid, I'd ask the parents a question. They'd tell me to look it up in the encyclopedia. Five hours later and a stack of books all around me, I still hadn't made it to the original question.

What size? How long do you need the "Aerobee-Hi" to be? The Semroc decal is not to scale since the MMI was not exactly scale.

My son took my finished Semroc Aerobee and did a 2X upscale with a BT-60 body tube. It works out to be about .013" smaller than an exact 2X.

I didn't know the Semroc/MMI decal wasn't scale, so I don't know if it should be larger or smaller than 2X over your decal set. The booster isn't exactly scale compared to the sustainer, so he isn't looking for 100% accuracy anyway.

I scaled my Aerobee up from SEMROC's Aerobee Hi. I would prefer the decals to be 2x larger than their decal set; however, close enough is good enough for me.
