Me in 1968 with the second of many Alphas over the years (yesterday was the 47th anniversary of my first model rocket flight -- an Alpha -- which was lost. Hence me with a new Alpha in October of '68.
Then me with Vern Estes, and my MegaAlpha in Chicago in 1991.
I can't rave enough about Tamiya Masking Tape, really. If I'd been spraying with a Airbrush, I bet I would've gotten Razor Sharp. I'll bite my tongue 'til after curing when I can clean up the pencil lines and overspray. Maybe I'll give Chris's Magic Eraser Trick a go?

Hi Eric,
The finished models looks great!
If you go with the magic eraser, dampen the eraser and squeeze out most of the water.
Go light with the eraser. While it can remove most anything, too many passes might dull a gloss finish.
Erase as much of the pencil lines as you can with a white eraser, not a pink pencil end eraser.
Then use the Magic Eraser.
I have a ms publisher file with these decals if they are any use to Gary. I drew them myself as I could not find a clean scan for laser printing decals.
Hey, besides my two Alphas (one 33 years old, one 3 years old), I have an Alpha III, and a question. Will the fin can hold paint? I really dislike the stock colors.
Apologies if I've shown this one here before:
