Help with V2 project.
Does anybody know the pattern/scheme for the tail/fin's for the "Operation Sandy" version of the V2 that was launched off the aircraft carrier "Midway" on 6 Sept 1947??
I have seen pictures of the launch and I know that the fins were blk & wht but I can't find a good source to see the correct pattern. All I can find is the front view of the launch and the back view but no side views. |

I'm unfamiliar with Operation Sandy but a quick Google search led me to this page:
http://www.midwaysailor.com/midway1940/opsandy.html It looks to have a decent number of pictures and probably enough to figure out each side. Hope this helps and I'm not just showing you something you've already seen.

I know this is an old thread and that Race found enough info to build his Operation Sandy V2, but I thought I'd post some of the other research materials that I found since then. The first is a marvelous video that I found on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJi8Ym1ADMQ This one is partially in color and thus confirms the color scheme of this particular V2. It's a really interesting video. I went through it and managed to get a few key stills from it - some of these are a bit dark, but they do show some nice details and help to establish the color scheme. Greg |

The rest of the stills I got out of the video. The last one is 7 and 8 combined (it was a pan shot), hence the odd change in brightness halfway down. 9 is a great shot of rocket ignition.

I have the decals but have not had many requests for it.

I see those are the BT-80 version - do you also have them for BT-55? I'm wanting to build both sizes. Also, how much are they?

I have them for the BT-80 (without the additional black and red stripes) for $14.00 with the extra black and red strips it's $28.00 (full sheet!) The BT-55 and BT-60 versions are $14 each and include the stripes. Oh, yea...and $5 shipping for as many decals as you want.

I think the most I can do is 40 sheet into a Priority Mail envelope.
