Estes Honest John #1919 Decals & Instruction Scans

[lowga]

Finally found time to scan the decals and instructions for the Estes 1919 Honest John kit at 600 DPI. Files too large to upload here, so instead I'm providing a download link using WeTransfer that will remain active for the next 30 days (mid-September 2020). Download them now if they are of interest.

Let me look for an alternative to get you the PDF instruction file. Here are the decals at 600 DPI with a ruler for reference. Let me know that you got this.

Got it. The decals and instructions are at JimZ's, but there is no ruler reference for the decals
https://www.spacemodeling.org/jimz/estes/est1919.pdfHave you tried PMing Jim?
He's been updating his site a lot lately.

Apologies. I'm trying to do this in the midst of a very busy day and evening of work. Just want everyone to have what they need to help clone and preserve this great kit. Can't wait to see the Open Rocket files. Thanks for all that both of you do for the hobby!

No fin pattern in the instruction. But here are the root edge and trailing edge along with rulers.
This is the M50 Improved (later version) of the Honest John which hasn't been made into many kits over the years. Currently, the Estes Mini HoJo kit is the only one available. Most modelers prefer the earlier M31 version with the larger fins. I think both of them are awesome.

BTW, Ronald Dunn, who is President of The Birmingham Rocket Boys, NAR Section 665 and co-owner of Mach 1 Rocketry said Saturday that "The Honest John is the ugliest rocket ever made."

I have multiple witnesses.

Is it possible to have him impeached? Possibly removed from the National Association of Rocketry? This outrage must not stand!

His favorite rocket is the ARCAS sounding rocket...so what does he know?!

Last one, fin outline with ruler for scale.
