I've got the parts collected to do a Custom Landviper clone. It won't be all Custom parts because of the unavailability of the nose cone, but I plan to use the 3" piece from the Custom Matra that I just finished so that there will be at least one correct piece in the mix. The nose cone will be a donor cone from an Estes Baby Bertha, with main and motor tubes from Semroc. Should be a fairly quick build, but the only scan I've seen of the decals is the name only. There were supposed to be some others, two small body wraps and some details. Does anyone have a decent scan that I can work with? Thanks in advance.

SEMROC customer since, well, a really long time ago.
2012 motor usage: 1/4A - 1, 1/2A - 2, A - 26, B - 31, C - 9, D - 8, E - 19, F - 1 = 1014.132 Ns
2013 motor usage: 1/2A - 1, A - 8, B - 12, C - 3, D - 1, E - 9, F - 1 = 434.37 Ns

That makes two of us needing a scan. Ditto on the scrounged parts. It was an easy build, similar to a Ranger.

Bill, I have one of these hanging on the rack downstairs...if no one steps up with a scan, let me know and I'll scan the decals for you (might as well send 'em to Gordy, too, while I'm at it).

Just let me know!

There is a scan of the decal here: http://www.oldrocketplans.com/custo...01/cus10001.htm . Hope this helps.

Yeah, I've got that, but there are also some other decals on the Landvipers I've seen, namely some small wrap decals for the Bt-60 tubes, some faux-missile text for the fins, and possibly more. I think the faux-missile stuff is the same as on the Custom Bullet, and the wrap decals are BT-60 versions of this decal, so that's my backup plan should nothing else turn up.

That would be great, Dean, but only if you plan to open it anyway. I don't want anyone opening a sealed kit for a non-life threatening incident.

Bill, whenever I open one to grab a decal scan, it just means that it will be the next one in the build queue --- it's kinda like you're helping me decide which of those kits I'm gonna build next!

Okay, but a little advice. Don't put the bottom fins on upside down. It's been known to happen.

Well I just looked at the Land Viper, I have been looking for a first cluster rocket and I like this one alot! Just read a post elsewhere on this forum that the kit is being re-released 3rd week of June, so I think I may have to order one, except the nose cone on the new one is a longer ogive. I have a stubby cone to sub in and like the black/white/yellow paint scheme of the original better.


Edit... the new kit has the longer cone, yet is 5 inches shorter overall. I just like the original too much, I think I am jumping on the badwagon and cloning it.
