Default Need help identifying decals...

I was going through some "stuff" and ran across these decals, which I am unable to match to a kit. The purple one on the left is peel and stick and the one on the right is waterslide. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks mucho!

The purple ones are for the Estes Redirocs Invader #2122 (flying saucer) page 15 in the 1998 catalog. The ones on the right I haven't yet figured out.

The decal sheet on the right side is from the Estes Sprite kit (No. 0885, see: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/no...a/88est020.html and http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/nostalgia/89est14.html ). It used a 9" BT-5 body tube instead of the 8" BT-5 tube used in the Gnome and in the later version of the Leprechaun (whose early version had a 6" BT-5 body tube).

Speaking of which (decals for obscure rockets, that is), I'd like to order--at YOUR convenience, when you have the time to create them--three or four decal sheets for the Estes Astro #1937 (a full-size PDF that includes a scan of the decals is here: http://plans.rocketshoppe.com/estes/est1937/est1937.pdf ). With those and a few sets of laser-cut Astro fins from Semroc, Estes Viking or Wizard kits (which use the same nose cone and 8.65" BT-20B body tube) can be made into Astro rockets. The design is like a narrower, streamer recovery version of the Alpha. The Astro's decals contain no white and are simple (two-color, orange and light gray) designs.

Estimable Sandman: Did anything ever come of this? I'm interested in the Astro decal (as well as the obscure Echo) and am preparing a new list to order. Thanks!
