Redrew the EAC Viper decals but had to use a similar font. I made one set in Magenta and another in Purple. Both are made to be printed on one half of the decal page. The decals are the same size as the original scan except for the smaller "estes aerospace club" decal as it is done to fit between the upper and lower fins. The catalog and instruction pictures show the use of the smaller decals on the BT. But it looks like folks liked the larger decal better. I opted to not include the larger circle because I do not think folks would be using it as a decal but I still have a file with the larger one in case anyone needs a copy. This file can be use to be printed with an inkjet or color laser printer. You may also use it with an ALPS but I do not know how it will turn out.


Let me know what you think. Enjoy!!!

So... what color paint did you end up using?

I believe it was Krylon "Rich Plum Gloss" #1914 (old formula) and Plasti-Kote "School Bus Yellow". I color matched the home made decals to the nose cone.

I see, do you still have the matching decal file?
