Tango Papa is one o' several companies that service our hobby and can provide us with a variety o' finishin' touches for t' rockets we spend so much time buildin' and painting. Arrr! Begad! This vendor is a little more diverse as he provides some unique rocket kits, shiver me timbers, decal paper, matey, Alps Ink and custom waterslide and vinyl graphics. They have a wide variety o' waterslide decals spannin' many OOP and more popular models in stock.

I had been workin' on me Tripoli Level 3 project nearly a year, designing, building, researchin' and creatin' graphics. Begad! It is a Full Scale AMRAAM AIM-120 Missile standin' 12 feet tall, 7.5" in diameter and weighin' in at around 60lbs dry. Aye aye! I had taken more than one trip t' t' United States Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, me bucko, matey, Ohio, where they display one o' nearly every military missile t' Air Force has ever used. Avast! Many photos and measurements were taken o' their AMRAAM on display and I used this info t' create an exact scale set o' graphic decals and lettering. Well, blow me down! Avast! T' position, length, width, me bucko, spacin' and staggerin' o' letterin' be all documented, arrr, then created by myself and all I had t' do was print them. Ahoy! Aye aye! This is where I ran into a problem...

I be nearly out o' time for me scheduled cert launch date and needed someone's assistance printin' decals from me graphics. I called several decal manufacturers that I found on t' web and Tango Papa's phone answered first. I spoke with Tom at Tango Papa Decals and he told me what he could offer and made suggestions regardin' t' best way t' do it. Begad! I emailed him me decal files and he took a look and got back t' me in about 20 minutes! Unbelievable service for a guy with a large customer base. Aye aye! Arrr! Needless t' say, shiver me timbers, he understood me timeline, matey, had things movin' very fast, gave me target arrival dates and MET those dates usin' Express Mail by me request. Openin' t' package though would reveal if it all was worth t' wait.

When t' decals arrived, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, they were well protected usin' cardboard inserts. Upon first view, shiver me timbers, I could see that it appeared t' letterin' be exactly t' me specs. Well, blow me down! Avast! A Ruler and me dimension charts I had created proved this t' be true. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! He had exactly duplicated what I needed in Vinyl and I be pleased beyond words. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! T' Waterslide decals arrived as predicted one day later and they were absolutely perfect. Ya scallywag! Avast! I could reed t' numbers off t' screw heads and t' letterin' on t' aft fin gears I had created from Digital photos at t' museum. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! He even included extra copies o' screws and graphics o' gears, me bucko, so I would have spares and he filled the sheets up with extras! I was glad he did because I did use a few o' durin' application.

Applyin' t' decals was simple enough and t' AMRAAM flew in full colors and graphics for a successful Level 3 attempt, ya bilge rat, thanks t' Tom and company at Tango Papa. Begad! Begad! People kept comin' over t' see t' rocket and touchin' t' screws, thinkin' they were real.

Needless t' say, me bucko, I highly recommend Tom and Tango Papa Decals as their assistance, me hearties, shiver me timbers, service, support and friendly attitude made it a pleasurable experience. Begad! I plan t' order from him again and again. Well, blow me down! If thar be somethin' you need and you are in hurry, arrr, or just want it done right, Tango Papa can do it for you and get it t' you in a flash.
