Yes, thanks for those.

I have seen the one (or a very similar one) of the Nike fins that appear to have been painted with rattle can spray paint (and may very well have been!) and realized then — along with some of the sounding rockets I have seen on display at places like Wallops and at Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt, MD — that there was not always great care in the ‘appearance’ of the vehicles, as readied for flight. Does make it a bit problematic if one is aiming to have a ‘nice looking’ scale model, as compared to an accurate scale model.
