Select the diameter that is closest to your body tube size based on your actual circumference. To find your actual circumference,
please see “What is circumference and how do I find it?“
$25.85 – $72.60
THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND SET IT IS A FULL WRAP! IF your rocket has Through the wall fins mounts.
I HIGHLY recommend wrapping your tube BEFORE you install the fins.. Then install the fins. (they are slightly oversized for some wiggle room you will need to TRIM them to fit) NO filet on the OUTSIDE. then apply fin decals, then a minimal “fillet” once the fins are installed RIGHT over the decal. YOU CAN ADD FOOD COLORING to your epoxy to color it.. (it only takes a drop or two!)
I suggest painting your fins BLACK BEFORE installing the fin decals. AND some trimming might be needed. these will NOT cover every inch of the fins, the areas where you beveled the fins is about what will not be covered!
THESE ARE SIZED TO A STANDARD Der red max.. AND ARE SCALED DIRECTLY UP OR DOWN FROM THE ESTES KIT.. IT SHOULD FIT MOST KITS BUT TO GET A PERFECT FIT ON FIN DECALS ESPECIALLY PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH A FIN DRAWING or a SIM FILE and we can get a PERFECT fit!
I RECOMMEND A CLEAR COAT OVER THIS once applied for a NICE well protected finish.
Adding the clear UV LAMINATION makes a bullet proof finish! no need to clear coat. (this will add some thickness and weight to the decal I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS ON THE SMALLER SETS)
due to the print and cure times turn around for this decal will probably be 3 work days!
SMALL SET, Price reflects my minimum setup and print fee so you will receive 2 full sets for that price!

Body Tube Diameter | 1.6 Inches, 2.6 Inches, 3 Inches, 4 Inches, 5.5 Inches |

Circumference is the distance around the outside of a circle – or in our case, a tube. It is calculated by multiplying pi times the diameter.
In rocketry, there are so many different sized tubes out there. Just because a tube is advertised as a 2″ tube doesn’t mean it’s actually 2″. Some manufacturers’ 2″ tubes are actually 1.9″ (like Aerotech). Estes made a BT67 that was 2.02″ and a BT70 that was 2.217″. For a long time, standard 5.5″ tube was actually 5.38″, for example. For this reason, there are far too many circumference sizes to list each one, so we ask you to provide a circumference.
PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER WHAT A TUBE IS ADVERTISED TO BE IS ALMOST NEVER CORRECT! it may say its a 4″ tube but chances are its either 3.91 or 4.12″ (these are BOTH very common)
When finding your circumference, DO NOT simply “do the math” or use calipers to take your measurement then do the math. More often than not, you’ll squeeze the tube (even just a tiny bit) when measuring diameter/radius, which will give you the wrong number right from the get-go and your math will be wrong, ACTUALLY IT WILL MULTIPLY YOUR SMALL ERROR BY 3.1415 NOW making it a HUGE error. (if you squeeze your tube just 1/8″ you will be off by almost 1/2″ when doing the math!!!!) . Instead, please physically wrap something (such as a piece of paper, tape or measuring tape) around your tube, mark it, and measure it to get an exact circumference. (THIS METHOD WILL ALWAYS BE CORRECT EVEN IF YOU SMASH THE TUBE BY 2 INCHES!) Then, when you make your order, select the closest Diameter size listed and then enter your exact circumference measurement! That way, we can adjust the decal size to fit your tube exactly!
SO THE BEST WAY TO GET AN ACCURATELY FIT DECAL TO YOUR ROCKET, USE SOMETHING AND MEASURE AROUND YOUR FINISHED TUBE, THIS IS FAST AND EASY AND ALW@AYS ACCURATE!
IF your tube is a standard tube with no extra fiberglass or super thick paint etc. you can enter ” MADCOW THINWALL FIBERGLASS” or “PML PHENOLIC TUBE” etc I do have measurements for MOST standard HIGH POWER tubes. BUT entering your TRUE Circumference will ALWAYS give you the BEST matched decal for your rocket.
