That's all I've got!

Cheers,

The pod NC numbers ring a bell in my head, so that must be what I bought for Kody's. SEMROC is still down and I can't check it, but if you can't trust a CenturiGuy for Centuri rockets, who can ya trust?

BTW, it's the same for the Athena, but you make 4 pods.

Oh yeah, I just thought of another wrap source. Jim Neubauer makes wraps for his upscale Orion. You can take his wrap and do some cutting on it for the regular sized Orion, as they are Saturn wraps with an extra piece grafted to the end.

You can contact him and see if he will sell you the wrap separately. It will be considerably more expensive than making your own with LJ wraps from SEMROC and the wraps are bumpy due to the vacuum holes, so you will have to consider the pros and cons of each to make your decision.
