A few weeks back, I had constructed a BSG Viper clone using Semroc ST-10s for the turbos and a nose cone produced by Mike Schmidt at Moldin Oldies. I tried making my own decal set from the JimZ scans, but the ink bled like a stuck pig A check of Excelsior's products didn't show any Viper decals, so I ordered a couple of sets from Tango Papa. His website says to allow 4 weeks, and my order arrived in 3; I must confess to getting a little impatient - Phred has me spoiled

Well tonight, I finally finished my Viper - the decals from Tango Papa came in yesterday, and I applied them this evening. Here's a couple of pics:





I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out... A special thanks goes to Mike Schmidt at Moldin Oldies, who made the nose cone. For those of you interested, details of the construction are in my rocket blog.

Beauty, Bill. I've been toying with the idea of building one of these since I saw the upscale over at TRF.
