I've got a Designer's Special and I want to use it to make a few rocket kit clones. The problem is that I'm missing the decals and don't currently have the ability to recreate them. So, I'm looking to see if there is anyone out there that has some extra sets they're willing to pop in an envelope for a few bucks. Here's what I'm looking for (might be willing purchase 2 sets if you have them):

- Estes Bull Pup 12D (#7000, presumably. I say presumably because I thought I read somewhere that the decals came in both waterslide and peel-and-stick forms and I'm not sure which kit has what).
- Estes Goblin (#7237)
- Estes Nova Payloader (#1716, presumably. I say presumably because I know from @BEC that the decals came in both waterslide and peel-and-stick forms and I'm not sure which kit has what).
- Estes Red Nova (#7266)
- Estes Hi Flier (#2178)
- Estes Zinger (#1917, the pink one)
- Quest Cobalt (#1021)
- Custom Rockets Galaxy Rescue

I can pay via PayPal and I'm open to trades or trades + cash. I have the the following:

- Estes Bandito Decals
- Estes Mini Honest John Decals
- Estes Mini Honest John kit
- Jolly Logic AltimeterTwo
- Estes Black Brant II Decals (#7243)

There are two decal sheets, each 11" x 3" waterslide.

I have two sets available, this the one in mint condition. $5 AUD for the decals (both sheets). Postage is the killer, $10.50 AUD.

There is a Goblin decal on eBay right now closing Sunday evening: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266170363518?hash=item3df8fd6e7e:g:i60AAOSwpMVkDnOs The actual Goblin that this belongs to is partially built as part of a lot of parts the same seller has.

The Nova Payloader markings were waterslide in the first release, then peel-n-stick for the next two (all #1960) then reverted to waterslides (but of the more sharply defined graphics of the peel-n-sticks) in the #1716 that is an AC Supply exclusive these days. I will look tomorrow and see if I have any spares. I've used up a couple sets from damaged kits (I got a dozen from AC Supply when they first re-released it, they were rather poorly packaged for shipping and were subsequently replaced) in repairing a couple of my Nova Payloaders. The one that made its 115th flight today has been repainted/re-decaled twice now.

I might have some surplus peel-n-sticks that were in the second and third #1960 releases. Any interest in those?

I'll be getting into my box of Nova Payloaders in the next couple of days because K'Tesh has requested scans of all the versions of the model.

Yes, definitely!

And thank you for the decal explanation.
I just found out, in laying out the seven versions of the Nova Payloader I have to get ready to do that scanning for Jim (K'Tesh) that it's not quite as simple as I described, though the shape of things is pretty much as I laid it out.
 
I'm sorry, but I don't follow.
Oh, sorry. Nova Payloader markings: waterslides, then peel-n-sticks, then back to waterslides but using the artwork, of the peel-n-sticks (which has finer lines) in the latest release. But the breaks between which releases had which is not as clear-cut as I described up in post 9. For example, I have one Beta series kit with waterslides and another with peel-n-sticks.

Also, the seller that has the Goblin decal didn't sell it this evening, and has relisted it for a lower starting price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266180299530 .

Gotcha.

Will you have any Nova Payloader decals to sell?

I also found some Goblin decals, thanks.

Before I open kits that Jim wants me to document it looks like I could part with one set of peel-n-sticks and one of the later waterslides pretty easily. I might part with a set of the original waterslides, but that would take a little more convincing :)
