Vintage Centuri Evel Knievel Build, with Semrocs help

This is a kit I bought for a decent price but was missing the fibre board sheet, luckily Semroc has this part laser cut so it was no problem. As you can see, I also bought the Semroc nose cone and it is a good match to the plastic version. I will of course be using the original nose and decals.

Interesting... I have a vague recollection from Back In The Day of seeing one of these on a store shelf somewhere. Looks like a neat little kit!

It was a pretty good little flyer back in the day on mini motors. I got one around '76 or so and at the time thought it went surprisingly high on an A motors for such a large body tube kit.

I still have that model and fly it every once in a while and it is kinda funny to think as a kid I thought it was a 'big body tube' kit, but I did.

If you could please send a scan of the decal sheet to sandman. ;)

Yes, indeed, but please remember to lay a ruler down beside the decal for reference. Very important!

I ordered some more laser cut parts from Semroc, may want to build this again in the future. I also ordered another Spaceman for XMas, thank you Semroc. This build is a on hold for a week, I had knee surgery so I am still recovering.

Yes, please!

I'd like to work on them this week if I could.

Kurt has it on his decal page.

The silver is not silver but Metallic Gold.

Thanks to Kurt for a most complete well, mostly complete, drawing I now have the Evil Knevil Sky Cycle decal up on my web site.

I printed a test sheet and it came out great.
