iirc the common fin colors come from a display model, not sure from where but I have seen a color photo with that color scheme.
 
That picture looks like three red fins to me, the forth one is unknown. But that's about the shade of grey I'd expect medium red to look like in a B&W photo. Yellow would be more whitish, I think...

In any case, I might have to build another to do that other color scheme...
 
Post 19...right picture....I see two red and one yellow.
 
Attached is my reference in building my 3/4 scale Nike Smoke (from NASA, ARC, etc.--color scheme defined in bottom right notes).

Seems like the .jpg file lost resolution on the upload. If you want the original file PM me and I'll send you the link.
 
Does Peter's Rockets of the World book say anything?

Three red fins and one yellow fin. Though looking at the drawing I have on my flash drive (I don't have the book handy), it might not be all that clear. Another revision to add....
