Actually, found another picture at Nammo, a large Norwegian defense company that supplies the rocket motor, showing this detail. https://www.nammo.com/what-we-do/ro.../amraam/iris-t/ WARNING DO NOT ROLL, TUMBLE OR DROP (always good advice for a multi-million dollar explosive item!) Quote:

By golly you're right, I had that picture but couldn't make out the writing. It is consistent with your wording though. Interestingly that render shows a hybrid paint job with the yellow and brown stripes but also with the logo. Would the plates typically be copied on both sides, or just on one? (e.g.: the control section plate) |

This wording was borrowed from the Sidewinder IRIS-T is meant to replace. I found the same warning on an AIM-9M displayed at work. Quote:
Based on the American missiles I've seen, these markings only appear on one side of the weapon. |
Thanks, I think I now know enough to do a reasonable job with this. It won't stand up to educated scrutiny, but it should pass the basic sanity tests.
Should I post build updates here? I'm not gonna completely duplicate the build thread, but if folks would like periodic summary pictures here I'd be willing. It is an interesting build IMHO. |
Yes, please!

Build intro

OK here's the start of the actual build.
OR model images are attached. The render looks pretty good, but OR limitations preclude many of the details that I'll be building into the actual rocket. I have found no drawings for this rocket so everything is derived from looking at pictures. The end result should be reasonably close but certainly not exact. Sport scale. The model is BT55 and just under 30" long, for a scale of roughly 1:3.8. |

First bit of assembly is the "conduit" (or whatever) that runs along the bottom of the airframe, almost front to back. Started with 1/8" balsa, hollowed out the bottom and shaped the top. Came out pretty good.
