$22.00 – $47.55
CHOOSE SIZE BY THE APPROXIMATE SIZE OF YOU LARGE BOOSTER TUBE.
1/100th set is for 3.91″ Diameter booster (estes)
1/70th Set is for 5.6″ Diameter Booster (Apogee)
Other size kits fit many scratch built Saturn v’s
PLEASE BE SURE TO PUT IN THE CIRCUMFERENCE AND LENGTH OF YOUR SERVICE MODULE so I can make the wrap fit YOUR rocket. (this is NOT needed if it IS the ESTES or APOGEE kit I have that info)
PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF EVERY SIZE SATUN V, EACH SET SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.. EACH TIME IT WAS RE-RELEASED IT SEEMS DECAL SIZES CHANGED. MY SET IS A GENERALIZED SET. MEANING IT MAY NOT EXACTLY MATCH EVERY SET EVER MADE. BUT IT SHOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO USE FOR A ROCKET OF THE SIZE YOU CHOOSE. WHEN PLACING AN ORDER FOR THIS SET YOU AGREE YOU READ THIS AND UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE SIZING OF THIS DECAL. IF YOU NEED A SET TO EXACTLY MATCH SOMETHING YOU HAVE I CAN CREATE A CUSTOM SET. MY DESIGN TIME RATES ARE $50.00 AND HOUR TO DO THIS. E-MAIL ME AND ASK FOR A PROOF IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SET I OFFER BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER.
This is a hybrid set.. all the small details are full color printed on white., BUT the large red lettering is CUT vinyl (no background)
price reflects my minimum setup and print fee. ON the 1/100th and 1/70 th scale I WILL INCLUDE TWO of everything!
Other sizes are available Please contact me for those options

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.
