I really like the one with the chick sitting on the bomb, but it's too big - a little over 5" wide. It would wrap around the body tube too much. I'd have to buy the big decal, scan it, and have a smaller one made.

I just did a search for "cherrybomb sticker". I got several hits and some on Ebay. This one is from Canada:

Got the rail buttons installed, and the aft epoxy fillets applied.

Have a need for a cherrybomb decal, do you?

My son chose this.

I was thinking of making a trademark kinda thing for my rockets ,much like a sexy PG13 sexy lady (a la Vargas) riding a Sidewinder Missile.

BTW ,I do really like the idea of the red stain/RIT on the nosecone ,looks really nice and the gloss coats sure will make it POP !

Take care

[o1d_dude]

The RIT dyed nosecone turned out way cool.

My vote goes for the second decal.

 

[rocketgeek101]

That nose cone sure looks nice! I really like the look of the wood grain. BTW, you should launch this on a red or blue motor...

 

[JPVegh]

Looking really boss! Digging the wood grain Capt.

 

[qquake2k]

I sprayed three coats of sanding sealer on the fins, sanded them, and sprayed on several coats of primer. I sanded the body tube and fins with 400 grit, and sprayed on the blue.

 

[qquake2k]

I was a little disappointed in the paint, until my son held it in the sun. Looks pretty good! Very sparkly!

I must say, I'm very very happy with how the nose cone turned out. My son had great ideas of letting the grain show, and using the Rit dye.

 

[qquake2k]

It looks pretty good!

 

[qquake2k]

I decided to paint the fin tips red, without masking, kind of a poor man's fade effect. I like it! I like it a lot!

 

[qquake2k]

A couple closeups of the nose cone in the sun. Sure is pretty!

Jim,That came out great!A little fade on the fin tips adds to the nosecone.Will look great on a redliner or bluethunder motor's flame.Are you going with the decal?

Thanks Carl. I'm pretty happy with this one. I'm still looking at decal options, I haven't decided yet.

Go Browns!

I wish the "specks" in the Metalspecks paint were a bit bigger too, it needs lots of light to really show it. Still nice paint though. I've never used the blue, going to have to find a project for it - that looks great!
