My name is Alja Makuc, I'm from Slovenia. I'm making a 1:10 scale model of Nike Hercules together with my boyfriend. We are both members of the FAI and we are building this scale model so we can compete at the European Spacemodelling Championship in Serbia this August. But we are having problems, because the blueprint is not accurate enough and we don't know which colours to use. On the blueprint it only says white, black, olive green, ... I would really appreciate if you can give me the correct colours in any of the colour scheme (RAL, ...). Thank you soo much for the answer! Kind regards! Alja MakucI [ Ed Thelen ] am really no help,
being a techie, any color is just fine. Just as long as the vacuum tubes and aerodynamics are right ;-)) So I forwarded the request to Mark Morgan,
as always ;-)) Look at the pictures that came back in an e-mail.
Heck, I thought I was daft for helping restore an old computer,
http://ibm-1401.info/index.html but old folks are permitted to be a little whakky - I hope -
I don't think Alja has that excuse :-((
- And I think I am doing well to assemble a kit with some preformed parts -
