Hey mole,

You can try contacting les, he did a build thread not that long ago:

http://www.forums.rocketshoppe.com/...ght=buck+rogers

The thread also contains a clearer decal scan than Jimmy Z's, at the request of GlenP.


I have to stop reading your posts, it always sends me on a detective hunt. I assume you already downloaded the plans at JimZ's, so you know the motor tube is 2.75" st-7.

The interior tube is 3", from the Centuri catalog at ninfinger's the dia. is .91", so that would be an st-8. The two outer fuselage pod tubes appear to be st-8 also. You're on your own on the lengths. There are profile and top drawings on the last page of the instructions, you can scan and resize so that the fuselage dias. are .91", and measure the fuselage lengths. That should give you a good approximation.


The scans of the fiberboard templates print the wrong size, and there is no inch scale. But knowing that the central cutout for the interior tube is 3" long, you can resize to the correct dimensions.


Nose cones are another story. I'm guessing they are PNC-89s. That would be 4.6" long. Semroc/erockets has a balsa alternative in the BC-846. (Note that I said guessing).


Whew, might be easier to just buy one:

If you have cash to burn, that is. Gotta go run some errands. Laters.
