I am looking for the correct stenciling for korean era HVAR rockets. I am
ready to paint the rockets and can't find the correct info anywhere.

Thanks

Eric, Try talking to the explosive ordnance disposal shop at Whiteman AFB. I'm guessing the publications they have on the HVAR are no longer classified. I took a look on their website and only found a number for the base operator: (660) 687- 1110
