Default Interceptor paint schemes

Awhile back there were some Interceptor threads that had various different paint schemes. I know that some were by phred but there were others as well. I haven't had much luck finding them yet but I seem to recall a FedEx version and maybe even a UPS one. I'd like to contact one or more of the people who have built these.

The FedEx one was originally over on TRF, and then came here IIRC. Seems like Fred (mod from Canada) either started the thread or at least added his Interceptor pics to it. I can't view images at work so I can't help locate them right now.

Recently I've seen one over here in Kansas City where someone has done it in the WWI German Grey Camo design. I thought that was pretty cool. I'll see if I can grab some pictures of it.

Found Stymye's FedExceptor in TRF's archives.

Still looking for the thread with all the different Interceptor paint schemes.

I'm thinking about modifying an Interceptor "E" kit into a Semi-F-104 Starfighter looking rocket by replacing the twin tails with a single T-Tail, with addition of custom made decals for an actual once-existing F-104.
I have always thought the F-104 MUST have been the inspiration for the design of the Estes Astron Interceptor, so that should be a decent looking project once completed.
