Default Art of Scale Model Rocketry Decals

That said, I didn't actually do the artwork for those. I don't even remember who *did*. He was a gentleman who had his own little decal-making business, and on his own offered to make decals for the rocket plans in "The Art of Scale Model Rocketry." While based on my model plans, he took the initiative to add things like rivets and more accurate fonts, and nicer artwork on the V-2 No. 3 Cheesecake art. When I sold out (except for exactly one set--not even a spare duplicate for my own models) he was unable to produce more for some annoying technical reason, and I wasn't even able to reach him after a while.

They were full-color decals, by the way, and not just B&W.


I have emailed Gordy to see if he can make these usable but since he no longer prints he might not be able to do it. Attached are just the lower res scans. The very large bold black Saturn roll pattern is 130.3 mm. Astrobee 500 is 78.6mm. The hoist here decal is 132.2 mm
