The Der V-1.5 really gets up there with a B motor.

Thanks for the heads up. I suspected a B might be a bit much for the NTMLF.

Cover your eyes. The Sizzler, #1906, clone, nekkid.
Anybody have an extra decal set? I noticed Goodrocks has some up on ebay. Anyone ever bought his?

Got an inkjet printer? Get yourself some BelDecal paper and print a set off yourself. It's so easy even I can do it.

I thought I did. What I have is a set of Mega-Sizz decals. Sorry!

Thanks a lot for checking, Lee. I really appreciate it.

Bill, I gladly accept your advice and ordered the decal paper today. I'm going to do what OJ said when a reporter asked if he'd consider getting married again.

And here, with much gratitude to Don Eichelberger for his advice and encouragement, a fully-clothed Sizzler clone.
Took a little practice and I think I'll do better with my next set of decals, but it should look good on the away pad.
