Default MK Arrow Vertical Sabilizer Emblem

Does anyone know what the emblem is on the vertical stabilizer (also on the nose) on the original MK Arrow? I amthe final stages of coveringa scratch built MK Arrow, covering it to the original box colors and designs and have searched for this emblem and can't find any information on it or a duplicate.
My searches includes google images under space emblems and stickers, russian space emblems, japanese space emblems. If anyone has an originalMK Arrow Box orkit and could take a clear picture of this emblem and post it to me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't it the MK emblem? [link]http://http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9636215/tm.htm[/link]

If it is, I have a Magic / Arrow and Curare kit with them in it. I can scan or get a vinyl sticker done cheap here in Singapore. Let me know.
(my Arrow kit is in Malaysia)

Having problems getting to the forum you recommended. If you can get this in vinyl let me know the price for 4 of them at 2.5 inch diameter. I'll let you know if I want them once I know the price with shipping to US

Not suitable for reproduction but this is likely what you are looking for. I didn't take the picture.

If the art work were to be re-done using a scan for reference, then it could be scaled to any size desired - small and large.

PS What was I thinking! Internal Server Error... OK, managed to fix this RCU nonsense.

Not an exact reproduction since it's based on the photo (I have no scan to match fonts and colors) but close enough. Took a couple of hours work.

I believe the original is about 85 mm in outer diameter. I made a larger one of 150 mm outer diameter if one wanted to put one on a wing. The 85's are for fins and cowls. A smaller 50 mm could be made if desired.

The two PDF's are 85 mm and 150 mm, respectively and the JPG's, are, well just exports but not of super high quality. If you want to produce vinyl stickers, use the PDF's which are full vector art.

If anyone appreciates, downloads and makes vinyl from them, feel free to send me a couple in an envelope! [8D]

Enjoy, David

What else is new - no uploads on RCU... [:@] I'm moving this over to RCG.

Progress complete David!

Well, actually I should make an effort to nail down the font used by MK for the circular text. I was too lazy to start wading through my umpteen fonts and chose something that seemed to work graphically to get on with the task.

On the other hand, they may just stay like that. I made a smaller 50 mm one which I'll upload later.

David
