Instead of a "Go Fund Me" how about buying a bunch more kits from my web site. I have a lot left!.

But I do have a request into Elephant Rockets in Japan, that's the company that repairs Alps printers.

As soon as I get an RA I will send it.

I got the scans today for the decal set.

I just started working on the decal file and most of what is there I actually already have.

I just have to copy/paste and rescale it to fit.

I do have a question on one part that is obscured in all of the scans I have.

Ther V-2 images of the pin-up and frau in munde(sp) I have I worked on them for a very long time in the past and I'm very pleased with them.

One question though. There is an image next to the two pin ups that looks like something something coming out of a barrel.

Does anybody have a better image of just that one item?

Everything else is just busy work.

Comrades:

That's the logo from the second British "Backfire" launch. It's a naked girl sitting on a barrel. The end of the barrel reads "Targett & Co. Ltd" and the side reads "Soft Soap". Let me see if I can find a better picture.

Edit: See the picture

Between fins III and IV just above the exhaust port

OK, but a mermaid is kind of a stretch.

And what is she sitting on? Is that a barrel?

What is the significance of that?

Any idea what it's supposed to look like?

Here is my artwork for the pin-up and frau in mund.

I drew these a while back so copy/paste works for that part. Actually most of it will be copy/paste. I have done all of these decals already but not all on one sheet.

Ok, if you say so. I've seen naked ladies but that ain't no lady,

Gordy,

I just emailed a higher resolution .jpg to you. That's the actual pin-up on the rocket in the post above. This young lady is more Keira Knightley than Elizabeth Hurley, if you will . . . .

Check out the four Mercury insignias to the right of the pinups. Tiny!
