Default Estes Aerospace Club decals ?

Does anyone offer decals (preferably waterslide) of the Estes Aerospace Club rockets ? I would like to clone the Viper 0820 I had received as a member many decades ago.

I was fortunate enough to find a box of goodies from my youth several years back. Although no rockets were saved all of the instructions of kits I built were.

Thank you

Check with Gordy at Excelsior Decals. I think he used to have some and still might.

Did any of the Viper kits have water slide decals? I've had a couple and they all were stickers.

Not that I was ever aware of but I was hoping maybe someone did copies of the originals in waterslide.

Decals are easy to make yourself. The decal scan is available on JimZ. Waterslide decal paper available from Micromark and many other places. If you want to be more true to the original kit by using stickers, print onto label paper available at any office supply and many big box stores. I used waterslide decals when I rebuilt my Viper.

So did I, but I lost it before I got it painted. If I knew where I put the decals I'd offer to send them, but that was in 2004.

OK, I dont own a printer or have access to one.
What type of printer would you recommend for printing on decal paper - Laser or Inkjet ?

Anyone have a preference brand and model they have had good luck with ?

Thank you for the reply's.
