Standard Olive Drab Nike Booster.
Standard White Ajax Sustainer/Warhead Section. Anything else is an ABOMINATION. SAME for the Nike Hercules. Those goofball random schemes of R-W-B or Blue/yellow-orange are borderline blasphemous and REALLY SUCK. Those are akin to painting a display F-4 in a Purple and Aqua scheme. POWR-PEUKE !

A full-scale one in a front yard would be a QUALITY YARD-ORNAMENT.
Tell the neighbors that don't like it to BUZZ-OFF ! Hand 'em an EMPTY Wine-Box to complain into.

Yeah, I guess I gotta agree with GH on this one...I'm not real keen on the 'acid trip' paint schemes for scale rockets. If they do it with the small stuff, then they might try to repaint one of the Saturn V's that way and, well, that would mean war. Plain and simple. Earl

There was a lot of stuff painted RWB in 1976 that normally wouldn't be, including some missile displays. However, I don't like the way they did this one. If it had been a crisp line at the obvious points, then it would have been ok for a 1976 display with all the RWB bunting hanging in the background. For a 2020 display, I'm not so fond of anything that isn't test round or in theatre colors.

The all-white operational one with the fin decor I find tolerable, but not preferred over the Olive Drab Nike section.
