Those decals look more interesting than the single-color boring Sunbird ones.

Printing out the Sunbird fin scan and the Mini Mean Machine fin scan with no scaling and overlaying them shows me that they match. So all we'd need to clone this then would be the decals.

The Sunbird & Mini Mean Machine are exactly the same as the Blue Sky Club fin pattern . I just laid the fin onto the Sunbird instruction and we have a match

Cool - as I mentioned, YORF has a Sunbird fin scanned and JimZ has the fin sheet for the Mini Mean Machine and they match each other as well.

I guess I should clone one of these just because of all the discussion even if it is "just" a 4FNC.

That looks nice. Look four posts higher for John's scan for the colors....

I have made the corrections and ready for Gordy to make. I think this will be my next build, I have a couple of Sun Bird kits sitting around to bash.

I just compared your re draw to the one I posted to the original I have in my hand.

Your blue is off to light .The last one you posted to dark. Look at my PDF file
I realize monitors are different and colors don't look the same on mine or yours.
But I have the original. That is what I'm using as a base line to go by.

Color is close to this: http://www.rustoleum.com/en/product...ve-enamel-spray Royal Blue

John, I will correct it but the link you posted has a much different blue than your scan. Yes monitors can make the colors look different. Also there are not too many blues an Alps printer can do. I'll post some blue samples and let me know which one is the closest.

Well, when you guys decide which color or a different colour, let me know before I print anything.

In the meantime I have both the Sunbird and the Blue Sky decals finished but.

Guys, I've been making quite a few Boy Scout, Cup Scout 4-H decals.

I don't want to pi$$ those groups off so, in the future all Scout and 4-H decals will be free of charge but!!!!

A big BUT!!

They will NOT repeat NOT! be available from my web site!

They are only available via PM's sent through Ye Olde Rocket Forum Private Message.

No priority mail they will be shipped only regular, a stamp and envelope.

Donations will be accepted.
