Mr. Harding,
You do some beautiful work, that's for sure! I have a question: are not the 'portholes' of the interstage supposed to line up exactly under the open rectangles (and where open rectangles would be but cannot due to structure)? In some of the photographs of the real thing, one can actually see straight through to the outside of the rocket here.

When one looks at various offered decals (Estes and aftermarket), the portholes are not lined up as they should be. I have to think that folks have always cut this decal out to include both the portholes and the rectangles as one decal, when it should be two separate ones. Heck, the Sheri's rendition was missing some portholes altogether.

What are your thoughts?
