I think red were the best looking decals

I'm a huge fan of the red stripers - I've got a 3.9, 9.8, 20, 35 and 50, all from '68 or '69 with the solid red stripes...

Th only red one that I have is in real nice shape except of the "650"
in the middle of the back.
Looks like somone laid it on concrete or let it rub on the dock or something.
I have found no one who markets these as a reproduction and you might get something made at a printer, but it would not have the metalic transluscent red character that the red bands do.
I wish someone was making reproductions
