Estes Farside-X (K-12X)(ca. 1971) Instructions, Decals, and Fin Patterns (with ruler)

K'Tesh · Jul 9, 2017

Three guesses what I'm trying to do here... And the first two don't count.

I'm looking to reproduce the appearance of the 1971 catalog model. The instructions found on JimZ's look to be older than 1971 and don't include the decals.

Thanks!
Jim

Can't help with a kit but -

Tom Prestia has the decal: https://www.tangopapadecals.com/$10_oop.htm

and Randy Boadway has the fins: https://www.erockets.biz/semroc-laser-cut-fins-farside-13-pieces-1-16-balsa-sem-fes-k12/

An old scan of the decal is here if you can figure a way to print the white:

Thanks!

However, I'm actually not looking to build the kit right now, I'm working on my sim of it.

There are two entries in the Rocksim library on RocketReviews.com

I rarely even bother looking at rocketreviews.com anymore. All too often the files that are posted there aren't accurate enough to justify trying to fix. Also, with .rkt files, not everything gets imported (such as the pods and the fins attached to them).
