Der Gutentag
Well, here it is!
As mentioned elsewhere... A few years ago (most of a decade actually) I built a goonie using a set of Ruskie fins from Semroc along with BT60 tube and Bertha cone. I fitted it for rear core ejection, which has become kind of my "signature," and got it all nicely painted red and white. Then I put it on a shelf to decal "later." Evidently it's now "later." I got the Ruskie decals when I ordered the fins but I really didn't want to go with that look. So, I dug out the extensive leftover Red Max decals JeffyJeep sent me years ago and combined a few of the Ruskie decals (wheels, cockpit, some rivets) with some of the Red Max decals. Thus, Estes and Semroc decals were what I was working with, and they went on great and look good on the rocket. My last decaling event was when I finished my Goonie Bird Zero, using Excelsior decals, and I messed that up terribly and am almost ashamed to show it. None of the iron cross decals survived my handling... it's why I put off the Ruskie-adjacent rocket until "later." I had a couple of the eagle decals left from the GBZero set, and I decided to put them on the sides of the sustainer... and the first one I tried to use came off the decal paper in pieces. Apparently I'm too ham-fisted for Excelsior decals, but Estes and Semroc are fine. Estes decals are honestly kind of thick, but I don't think of Semroc decals being that way and I had no problem with any of them.

Huh. Even in a private window it shows up for me.
Can anyone else see it?

No, but I'm at work. That might explain everything.

Thanks Don! Don't know if it will make it to Fairfax or not; the photo was taken before clearcoat, and I've just started doing that. Using a water-based poly varnish rather than rattlecan clearcoat since it won't react with the rattlecan paint.
