Boyce Aerospace custom-scaled grid fins, landing legs, and display nozzles. I could not get the landing legs to lay flat, without either a) cutting the legs in half or b) sanding the underside so much that some of the webbing would be removed. Opted for a). Did not bother contacting Boyce about this, as looks fine for my purposes.

The combination of ScottDee/thingiverse and Boyce Aerospace 3d printed parts, meant the landing legs wouldn't fit completely, so i had to shave a portion of a tong from a few of the landing legs to make landing legs fit. (I was too lazy to create the 50 landing leg lock detail pieces. There is already 150 decals/detail pieces on this.)

Primer, paint, clear coat are all Duplicolor rattle can. Seems like white Duplicolor rattle can paint from rattle can should have best chance of not yellowing, as people whom applied to their much more expensive vehicle would be upset about yellowing.
1/16" polycarbonate temporary fins, held together for launch by melted glue gun glue, then removed for display purposes. Purchased off eBay.
I bet you have 500 hours in this, between building it, taking pictures, and putting the video together. Thanks. Have you done a McDonnell Douglas Delta II before? I've looked all over for the decals. I was gifted an old scratch built rocket and recently did a restoration of it. I need decals and the 8 booster nozzles to finish it.
