Need help with my Bandit clone

[Leo]

Hi everyone,

My long time dream to own and fly the Bandit (K-48) is finally coming true

I've finished the rocket for the most part.

However I do need some assistance from someone here.

I have till now used original Estes parts. Even the engine hook is the same as it was used in them older days

Here a picture of the baffle tube I made:

The original nose cone was a BNC-55AO but I'm using PNC-55AO instead.

What I need is the decal (KD-48) and the balsa nose block (NB-55).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Leo,

Very nice build! The decal for the K-48 Bandit is available on JimZ's site. Here is the link:

Leo,

Glad to know someone else loves the Bandit. It's one of my favorite subjects to clone. Try Excelsior Rocketry
https://towrowrow.tripod.com/excelsiorrocketry/id1.html. They
have the Bandit decals in stock. From what I hear Excelsior Rocketry will treat you right!

Make sure to post a finished picture!

Keith

Leo,

This link may work better for Excelsior:

https://towrowrow.tripod.com/excelsiorrocketry/

the other link gives a page not found - they have been updating their website quite a bit lately. I have not ordered from them (yet), but you will read all sorts of good things about them in the forums!

The link I listed above doesn't seem to work for Excelsior Rocketry, try this one:

Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone

Decal is solved but where to find the nose block?

Maybe Excelsior can help me with the nose block too. I'll get in contact with them

BMS has the NB55
