I poked around erockets, and the decal sheet, fin sheet, nose cone and body tube for the Semroc kit are all available there as of today.

Thanks for posting these pics and info. I always liked the Aerobee Hi. I have 3 NCR kits and 2 Semroc kits. One of them is still in its unopened Semroc package from 2007.

Don't know why I missed this thread but I finished my Aerobee-Hi last year. This is kit bashed from an Estes HiFlier XL.
