Something made from spare parts
OK, not really spare parts, just extras.
This is what I have been doing. I made up a bunch of kits 'cause I found 5 "Mini Bertha" decals that Phred made a very long time ago. I don't really trust those old decals so I pre coated all of them with liquid decal film. They are the black and red decals and I made Scaled from a Big Bertha with the decal pattern from the 1965 Estes catalog. OK, I know they didn't have a 1965 catalog but if they did...This would be it. It was the face card art. The pictures show it with my Big Bertha with similar decals. The Big Bertha was signed by Vern Estes, Gleda Estes and Betty Estes Geer at NARAM 50.

The nose cones look to be Aero Gloss Bonanza Blue color.

I'll have to compare that pic to the cones I have painted Bonanza Blue.
I have at least 3/4 Gallon of Bonanza Blue in cans.
