You could then cut them out with a hobby knife and just glue them to the painted rocket. A final shot of clear gloss will seal the ink and help keep the "decals" in place.

Sorry, by the way, I just built a Galaxy Guppy last month and used a set of the decals and they worked perfectly-as well as if they were made yesterday. I have so many, I used a sheet of the cold power Yankee Stars to decorate my Big Bertha and others rockets. Actually, Ive used a LOT of them and still have more than Ill ever use. Cant wait to see what they may bring. dannymrmissile
