The Aura is a simple rocket, but being simple, lends itself to a wide variety of decoration.
Mine is one of my earliest MPR rockets. The build thread for it is in the Archive: https://www.rocketryforumarchive.com/showthread.php?t=48399
It also has thread here on TRF: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=9709
The albums I have created for it are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/23694991@N03/collections/72157607443729821/
When I first built it, I painted it blue and printed out the decals. Going over blue, they were fairly washed out and the blue was hard to track in the sky.
When I had to replace a fin, I repainted it a lighter shade of blue and made the NC and fins red. I also printed and used most of the LOC decals. This time, they were on white backed paper and the result looks much better to me.
