Default Excelsior Rocketry need a bit more help, please.

Looking for an original scan of the decals for the Stealth 1929 kit with a ruler or reference square for size.

I have the decals drawn I just need a scale or something for size.

This is important.

I really need this.

Thanks, Bob. Whichever is easiest for you.

How about a very accurate measurement of the USAF lettering length?

That would size the whole decal for me.

I have one. The USAF lettering length is 1.25" long by .45" tall. The U.S. AIR FORCE lettering length is 2.2" long... Hope this helps.

That's perfect!

Thanks a bunch!

Guys, I have over 450 decal files I'm not going to catch everything.

So any mistakes you find help a lot!

Thanks, Leo, but the decal is all drawn. I just needed to get the scale right.

The problem is the scan dpi's on Ye Olde and JimZ's are all over the place so the size is all over the place. Some too large some too small and a few are just right.

Most scans go into my drawing program (Corel Draw) as a bitmap and have to be converted, traced and "fixed".
