Maybe a large, corporate foot squashed the server.

I was planning on purchasing the A-20 also but couldn't get past the home page. I just figured they had set it up so nothing could be ordered while they were on vacation. Makes sense if you don't want a backlog of orders to fill as soon as you come back from vacation....Then again, after spending a bunch of money on vacation, would be nice to have some orders to fill......

I'm hoping that's the case. I still have the Atlantis decal situation to iron out.

By the way Bill.....seeing your A-20 convinced me to buy one. I've been wanting to for a while but wasn't sure about the decals. Your's turned out GREAT.

Clearly a case of a model selling itself. I think they did a great job on it. The chrome decals (and to a lesser extent that nose cone,) have put a lot of people off of this project. Having them done for you makes this no-brainer.

I just read your review today on EMRR

You should send that same image from your review to PDR for the PDR website. Your A-20 looks like it just like it just jumped off the pages of the Estes catalog. IIRC before the site went down there were two kits still without images, the A-20 Demon being one of them.

Try this link:

http://www.pdrocketry.com/index.htm

This link works right now...

Addendum: But only to the first page. His "Rockets" page is currently pointing at the main page.

The link to his "/rockets.htm" page is obviously not on the site.

You can get to the site but the links to the rockets section still isn't working

Bill,

Do you need a scan of the USS. Atlantis decals?

I have a 300 x 300 dpi .tif file of these decals all cleaned up.

PM me with an email address and I'll send them to you.



PS. I also have a scan of these for a downscale using a BT-5 body tube.

I needed to do that for my cardstock model USS Atlantis

The A-20 Demon decals were great, but my latest kit from PD, the USS Atlantis, has a terrible set of decals. I e-mailed PD, but they're on vacation until after the holiday.


Getting back to this, I e-mailed PDRocketry today when I got home from work, explained the problem, and included a scan of the decal. When I woke up there was a reply agreeing that the decal had problems and promising to deliver another. With two weeks until the next Quark launch, (I had a funeral on Saturday and was sick on Sunday this past weekend, ) I should be able to get the Atlantis finished, painted and decaled. (Which is good because I just started an Estes Strikefighter that I bought from the Beer Skunk, and just last night ordered my first Dr. Zooch kit, the Little Joe that I've been lusting after ever since I first heard he was kitting one.)
