Had some time this afternoon to wrap this one up. I attempted to use the original Estes decals but as is typical with me and water slide decals, this once again was a complete disaster but this time it wasn't my fault. The decals were just old to use. About a week ago I received a bottle of Liquid Decal Film. I picked this up as a recommendation from a member here. I watched a couple of videos on using the product then taped down my decals and gave them two coats and let that sit for a few days. Once I dipped the decals in water they crumbled but I was left with a weird clear film that I'm going to assume was the decal film.
Not to worry. I planned ahead and had ordered some vinyl from Stickershock when I started this build.
Here is the finished product. Sprayed the vinyl with a little water so I could move them around if needed then used a little heat to warm them and get the water out. End result came out pretty nice. I wiped the rocket down with 50/50 water/alcohol then shot on two good coats of Duplicolor clear coat.
