Europa kit resources
Europe's first launcher never orbited a payload,
but it looked great while trying. The British Blue Streak first stage,
French Coralie second stage, and German Astrid third stage were never made
to work together properly before the project was cancelled. The Ariane
project followed, which worked much better.
The kit stands 8 3/4" tall and includes 4 resin
parts, 2 aluminim tubes, a stand (1 resin part and 2 aluminum tubes), and
instructions. No decals are included, or really necessary.

The completed model
The striping was accomplished
by hand, and I don't know any other way to do it.
Without an ALPS printer,
I'm unable to make a decal with both white AND clear (or silver).
