Default Lil Smoke!

About 40 years ago, i built a Centui Nike Smoke, then somehow i came upon another NS nose cone, so i scratch built a rocket and STUCK IT ON THE TOP! for some reason ive been wanting to build a new NS for a long time, and realized i had all the parts i needed to build a newin!!! Im all EXCITED! Must contact Sandman for decals!!! think ill stretch it a little bit for D/E power....! How a grown man can get so excitied over remaking a silly little rocket is beyond me....but i am!! Guess it beats Crack, Coccain, or Booze! Oh, and my original Smoke still flies!! Talk about bang for the buck!

What is the size of the body tube you are using?

I have the Nike Smoke decal for a BT-60. I can easily scale it to the size you are using.

Why yes, it is!

I make a BT-60 Nike Smoke nose cone specifically for the Deuces Wild and it includes a UNITED STATES decal plus in smaller type " SMONIN' DEUCE".

I just removed the " SMOKIN' DEUCE from your.

The decal consists of two set for $2.00.
