Was that color scheme ever used on a deployed or test HJ?

Well, I guess it is easy enough to get out the primer and camo colors.

I've seen orange/white/black on test rounds, but I've yet to come across a photo with that particular version.

That's the impression I get from John's post in the other thread: http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showp...02&postcount=35

That's what I concluded. But good to verify.

It's a white sands display round. You'll have to scroll down a ways.

That's the paint scheme I see all the time. I've yet to find one done up like the Estes kit. Hopefully John can steer us to some scale data once the kit is released.
