I'm working on a Knievel Sky Cycle upscale. My scale is as follows. Original bt was 1.34, I'm going 2.6. 2.6 divided by 1.34 = 1.94 or 194%. The rocket is built and I'm having trouble sizing decals for it. Upscaling the decals to 194% looks to small. 225% looks about right. Also you guys who may of had one at a younger age- does the top decal(blue w/white stars and red band) go all the way to the top of the fin or is there a small white space running down the top? Any help and/or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Marty
 
Marty, you calcs on the upscale appear to be correct, so even though they look small, they are probably correct...you can't argue with math. However, I say make em so YOU are happy with the outcome!

Good luck...and post some pics ;)

Carl is right and so are you on the scale.

Did you use JimZ's plans?

No, the decal does not go to the top...there is a white stripe.

Here's mine.
