This new decal
sheet from Cutting
Edge Modelworks features markings for three Pegasus rockets and four L-1011
launch aircraft. The recommended kits are the 1/144 Cutting Edge Pegasus
and Pegasus XL and the 1/144 Minicraft or other L-1011 kits.
The Pagasus vehicle is an
air-launched space booster created to give small satellite users a cost
effective and reliable method for placing payloads into low earth orbit.
The vehicle is produced by Orbital Sciences Corporation and Hercules Aerospace
Company. NASA's B-52 launch vehicle was used to launch the Pegasus fir the
first six launches from 1990 to 1994. After that an Orbital Sciences
L-1011 "Stargazer" aircraft launched the Pegasus. The
decals are contained on 3 decal sheets. You get enough markings to make 3
Pegasus rockets and one of 4 different L-1011 launch vehicles. The decals were flawlessly printed
and in perfect registration and the clear carrier film is trimmed very close to
the crisply printed colored areas. The instructions
are clear and includes side view drawings.
