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. This vendor is a little more diverse as he provides some unique rocket kits, shiver me timbers, decal paper, Alps Ink and custom waterslide and vinyl graphics. Begad! Aye aye! 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, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, me hearties, designing, ya bilge rat, building, shiver me timbers, researchin' and creatin' graphics. 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, Ohio, arrr, where they display one o' nearly every military missile t' Air Force has ever used. 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. Aye aye! T' position, length, width, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, spacin' and staggerin' o' letterin' be all documented, then created by myself and all I had t' do be print them. This is where I ran into a problem...

I was 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. Ahoy! Blimey! 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. I emailed him me decal files and he took a look and got back t' me in about 20 minutes! Blimey! Unbelievable service for a guy with a large customer base. Aye aye! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! Needless t' say, he understood me timeline, had things movin' very fast, gave me target arrival dates and MET those dates usin' Express Mail by me request. Begad! Blimey! Openin' t' package though would reveal if it all was worth t' wait.

When t' decals arrived, they were well protected usin' cardboard inserts. Upon first view, me bucko, I could see that it appeared t' letterin' be exactly t' me specs. Ya scallywag! Avast! A Ruler and me dimension charts I had created proved this t' be true. Blimey! He had exactly duplicated what I needed in Vinyl and I was pleased beyond words. T' Waterslide decals arrived as predicted one day later and they were absolutely perfect. 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. Avast! He even included extra copies o' screws and graphics o' gears, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, so I would have spares and he filled the sheets up with extras! I be 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, thanks t' Tom and company at Tango Papa. Begad! People kept comin' over t' see t' rocket and touchin' t' screws, me hearties, ya bilge rat, me hearties, thinkin' they were real.

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