Brief:
This waterslide decal sheet is an 8" x 10" set for t' Estes Outlander. Ya scallywag! It is intended t' give it a Mars Lander appearance.

Construction:
T' sheet came in a heavy 8" x 10" envelope with two heavy paper "stiffeners" t' keep it flat in shipping. Avast! T' sheet arrived in perfect condition. Ya scallywag! This is one giant 8" x 10" decal, so t' images need t' be cut close t' t' edges. Avast! Among others, t' sheet contains flags, exhaust ports, ya bilge rat, a ladder, ya bilge rat, me bucko, roll patterns, me hearties, and one giant decal t' cover the "ascent module". Avast! T' flags have a white background for t' stripes. This is especially good if you place it on a surface other than white.

T' kit be assembled as per t' instructions. Begad! T' only difference be in the paint scheme. T' entire body be painted white and t' legs were painted red. Ya scallywag! I used a candy-apple red for t' legs, me hearties, but a fire engine red would have looked more Mars Lander'ish.

Decidin' where t' put t' decals was difficult. Some o' them, me hearties, like the rectangular ones, were easy because they fit perfectly on the "tanks". Others left me searchin' for a good spot. Ahoy! Blimey! There are more decals than I could find places for without havin' it look "too busy". Arrr! Blimey! Don't get me wrong, this is a good thing.

The large semicircle decal used for t' "ascent module" be very difficult t' apply. Ya scallywag! I recommend lots o' practice before applyin' it. Even after practicin' a bit, ya bilge rat, I wasn't able t' get it perfectly aligned. Aye aye! Aye aye! T' slightest misalignment will cause t' ends t' nay meet. Aye aye! Since this is a waterslide, you do have a few chances, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, matey, but nay too many.

T' decals can be clear coated after applyin' them. Avast! Aye aye! I didn't see t' need for this. Ya scallywag! Arrr! They have a glossy appearance and have good "stick'um" so they won't come off. Aye aye! I didn't see t' need t' clear coat me rocket.

Summary:
Pros

I've used decals that were thin, cheap and didn't really stick well. Avast! Begad! Not these. Avast, me proud beauty! These decals are as high quality as I've seen. They have high definition "crisp" detail, with bright colors and

Cons

A diagram o' t' intended locations would be helpful for guys like me that can't make up their minds, and end up makin' a career out o' decidin' where to put them. Begad!

Overall, matey, these decals provide a cleaner look than t' stickers that come with t' Estes Outlander kit. Arrr! They will also provide you with a rocket that is different that all t' others out there.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
