Brief:
This waterslide decal sheet is an 8" x 10" set for t' Estes Outlander. Arrr! 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. Blimey! Blimey! Well, arrr, blow me down! Blimey! T' sheet arrived in perfect condition. Aye aye! Blimey! This is one giant 8" x 10" decal, arrr, so t' images need t' be cut close t' t' edges. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Among others, ya bilge rat, t' sheet contains flags, exhaust ports, a ladder, ya bilge rat, roll patterns, and one giant decal t' cover the "ascent module". Arrr! Blimey! 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 was in the paint scheme. T' entire body be painted white and t' legs were painted red. Avast! I used a candy-apple red for t' legs, but a fire engine red would have looked more Mars Lander'ish. Well, me hearties, blow me down!

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

The large semicircle decal used for t' "ascent module" be very difficult t' apply. Avast! I recommend lots o' practice before applyin' it. Blimey! Even after practicin' a bit, I wasn't able t' get it perfectly aligned. Begad! T' slightest misalignment will cause t' ends t' nay meet. Ahoy! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! Since this is a waterslide, arrr, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, you do have a few chances, but nay too many.

T' decals can be clear coated after applyin' them. Avast, me proud beauty! I didn't see t' need for this. Well, blow me down! They have a glossy appearance and have good "stick'um" so they won't come off. Arrr! 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. Arrr! Well, matey, blow me down! Not these. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! These decals are as high quality as I've seen. Arrr! 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, arrr, shiver me timbers, me bucko, and end up makin' a career out o' decidin' where to put them. Begad! Aye aye!

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

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
