Brief:
This waterslide decal sheet is an 8" x 10" set for t' Estes Outlander. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! 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. Begad! T' sheet arrived in perfect condition. Blimey! This is one giant 8" x 10" decal, so t' images need t' be cut close t' t' edges. Aye aye! Among others, me hearties, t' sheet contains flags, exhaust ports, a ladder, roll patterns, and one giant decal t' cover the "ascent module". Aye aye! 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. Ya scallywag! I used a candy-apple red for t' legs, arrr, but a fire engine red would have looked more Mars Lander'ish. Begad!

Decidin' where t' put t' decals be difficult. Some o' them, like the rectangular ones, ya bilge rat, were easy because they fit perfectly on the "tanks". Avast, me proud beauty! Others left me searchin' for a good spot. Blimey! 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. Arrr! I recommend lots o' practice before applyin' it. Begad! Begad! 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. Arrr! Since this is a waterslide, shiver me timbers, me hearties, you do have a few chances, but nay too many.

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

Overall, ya bilge rat, me bucko, me bucko, these decals provide a cleaner look than t' stickers that come with t' Estes Outlander kit. Avast, me proud beauty! They will also provide you with a rocket that is different that all t' others out there.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
