Upscale Alpha III

GREAT WORK!!!

They are a bit tricky to use, but just like with mine, bugger looks great from 5 ft away, but it's a rocket, be proud when that baby takes to the sky!!!!

Outstanding!

Holding your mouth right is the secret to decals and vinyl.

I am so excited with how this one turned out. And I really don't know why I'm THIS excited.

Couldn't resist another comparison shot. Makes the Super Alpha look not so super!

cwbullet · Jul 17, 2012

Very nice.

I also got a set of BT-60 size decals from Mark at Stickershock.I decided to convert my Super Alpha into a Super Alpha III.

qquake2k · Jul 19, 2012

I got a really clean line with the delicate surface tape again. It looks more like an Alpha III!

Spooks · Jul 20, 2012

Makes me want to do the same!!

Only could hope it turns out half as nice!!

qquake2k · Jul 21, 2012

Got the decals put on the Super Alpha III today.

qquake2k · Jul 21, 2012

I got impatient peeling the outer wrap off the upper decal. But it's not terribly bad, and it's in back.

qquake2k · Jul 21, 2012

I like it! I like it a lot!

Spooks · Jul 21, 2012

Nice, so where are the launch pics?

They're in the distant future, unfortunately.

As long as they are in the future is what matters!

Great looking ship, and you should be PROUD of the work!!!

Excellent build thread. I love the Alpha, it was the rocket that introduced me to rockets many a year ago. Thanks for sharing with us.

Oooooh, purdy.

Finally got the retention clips done. Hopefully I'll get to launch the Alpha III XXL next Saturday at the Snow Ranch launch.

Sorry to tell you but I received an email yesterday that stated that the Nov. 3rd LUNAR launch at Snow Ranch was cancelled due to dry conditions.

Yeah I am bummed too.
