Welcome back! I lost power for ~12 hours last Wednesday during a windy, wet-snow winter storm in our area (I was lucky--some residents were power-less for the rest of the week!). Regarding your confusion, such can be a consequence of the arcana of research... Here's the nutshell version:
The Logix solid propellant rocket decal set (based on what those who had--and have--the Aeronautical Lab Kit have seen) has no red stripes, but is all black-and-white. The red stripes and bands shown in the color illustrations of the rocket on the box and manual cover seem to have been added as "artistic license" (but they *would* look fab!). Perhaps a decal set for this rocket (and maybe for its "companion" catapult rocket, too) could have duplicates of the actual black-and-white decals as well as the "in the mind's eye of the artist" black, white, *and* red decals? For complete fidelity to the original decals (which were self-adhesive, glossy paper stickers), the duplicate decals could also be printed on such material (such as self-adhesive glossy paper label sheets). |
