Anybody have reliable information on fin color for the Nike Smoke. The few images (of the real vehicle) I have seen seem to have the three orange and one yellow fins. They do not appear flourescent.

Testors?
The NAR Technical Services scale pak for the Aerobee 350 sounding rocket includes a photo of a worker using a spray gun to paint the flourescent fins on the Nike
booster. No masking or any nonesense like that. You will see some boosters or vehicles that aren't painted well. The colors were for visual tracking and roll rate,
hense the one fin of a different color. They were not painted for aesthetics or top workmanship. The booster was painted like they did the Nike Smoke motors.
