I see a list of decals for sale. ;-) Try another browser or clear the cache of the one you're using.

Not my listing nor do I know the lister.

Earl

P.S. - This seller just keeps adding decals to their listings...probably up around 30 different ones now.


Anyone who has interest in these decals probably already has seen, but just as an update, this seller has added even more decals late last night and has now probably around 60 different ones. Look to be all Estes stuff.

He must have gotten burned by his coffee at a Tim Hortens after buying a defective Mastercraft rotary tool at Canadian Tire.

I am always interested when I see collections like this for sale. It makes me wonder if they just didn’t like using decals or they just collected parts. Is there a fleet of unpainted models in their garage? That’s a huge amount of kit decals covering a lot of time. Not really that expensive considering the cost includes shipping.

Estes sold decals as parts during that timeframe covered by the decals on sale, I think early 90s and prior), so that’s my guess. I got a many decals from Estes and used them on a bunch of scratch builds.

Default I would of had bought this

Back in the day when I was collecting I would of had bought this. some things are just very
unique, and $20.00 bills are very common. spend it you'll make more. And if you like something
and you never seen one before, well you may never see it again. You just don't know.

This particular seller seems to have an extremely high opinion of his OOP rockets.

Shanghai Dragon CHANG ZHENG 2 (CZ-2E) 189.00
Mini Rocs (MPC) Delta Katt 70.00
Mini Rocks (MCP) Astrobbe D 90.00

All way overpriced from my perspective. Then again, I don't 'collect'. I 'buy to build'. Different market.
