Is this an original ? If so, all you gotta do is tell me what you ( reasonably) want for it. I really need that. Is it available ,,, cmon, Everything has a price !
I started sanding the fins tonight. I’m beginning to consider what you said about just read doing it All. It’s a mess, Literally !

It was mentioned that this may be dope. It’s looking more like the old paint we used for Black Lights back in the 60s ! It’s really chalky.....

Yes, this is a scan of an original Centuri IRIS fin sheet, if you want to use it as a template to cut a new fin(s). But no, it is not for sale; this is from my builder IRIS kit.

What is your definition of a Builders Iris Kit ? You going to build it ?
Oh, I think you mean, this isn’t an original fin sheet, but a copy ? If so, can’t you make me one ?.

As I stated above, it is a scan of an original Centuri IRIS fin sheet; it is not a copy. And it is from my open Centuri IRIS kit that I will be building, hence the term ‘builder’ kit.

Centuri produced the IRIS . . . The "ISIS" is a LOC creation.

Thanks Dave. My memory isn’t what it was. I knew about and was trying to remember who made that kit. I couldn’t place it. Thought it was a Semroc Kit. I looked at the link, is it available with the IRIS Decals ? I’m not crazy about the other name.
Dan.

Here are the other files to round out a full rebuild, if you choose to go that way. I've never done decals myself (and these are part white at that, which makes them hard to do), but for whatever help they are, you can use them.
