    Frau Im Mond Art Work

    Has anyone ever seen a good and usable image of the art work of the Frau im Mond that graced the airframe of the first V2? I ordered the Estes V2 yesterday and would like to finish it this scheme.

    Thanks!

    Google images comes up with a few, but most are smallish and probably wouldn't print very well. After a quick search, here's the biggest I could find:

    I can't read German, the title seems to state this is V2 artwork, but the image itself says V4. I don't know the history of the rocket to know what the deal is with this.

    I can right click when I go to the web site with Google and get it translated.

    The title says, "File: Faithful reproduction of the painting of the V2-HIT Peenemünde.jpg"

    Soooo...I guess that's a "reproduction". But it still looks better than the one I have.

    Hey thanks Sandman, it works for me! That is the image that I have seen in the past and yes, it is the largest and the clearest I've ever seen! Yep, it'll work! Thanks again!

    Unfortunately this is the one I have that Phred drew.

    It's OK I guess but not correct.

    Here it is cleaned up with Photoshop to remove the gray back ground that I'm reasonably sure was not on the original. The example I'd seen did not have a background, simply the image painted onto the skin. This has been re-sized at 50% of the original.
