Excelsior Rocketry "SCRATCH AND DENT" sale.
From time to time things "happen" with an Alps printer.
Sometimes it's my fault (not often) and sometimes the printer just does what it wants to do. Most of the time I can clean the ink off the paper with Naptha but when there is just too much ink on the sheet Naptha just makes a mess. So after years of "saving" bad decals I thought maybe somebody might want them for scratch built projects. These are good decals just not "commercially acceptable". In other words I can't sell them as what they are supposed to be. But they are still good. Some have scratches that can be easily fixed with permanent marker (mainly the black ones) after the decal is applied. Black matched very well so the repair wouldn't even be noticeable from more than 3" away. Contact me via PM here on YORF and I can arrange cheap shipping (not Priority Mail) or we can combine it with a regular decal order. If it's OK with Scott I want to make one post in this thread per decal. This way if sold I can just edit the post to "Sold". Sorry for the glare on all the photos. I left all the decals in plastic sleeves when I took the picture.

Decal #1
Decal #1 was a lesson in futility.
A customer asked me to do this...one full sheet 8 1/2 X 11 of all black. With margin the black is 7 1/2" 9 7/8". I didn't care for it 'cause it shows where the printer heat overlaps so there are horizontal ridges. Those should be minimized when the decal is cut and applied. Perfect for some custom job. Scratch and Dent price is $4.00 For $1 more I can coat it with Liquid Decal Film.

Decal #2 Der Blue Max
This one didn't seem to index correctly...it happens.
Fortunately I did print up a replacement for the damaged section. Printed with black and white in 1 and 1/2 sheets. Der Blue Max decal fits a standard BT-60 Max. $6.00 Don't forget...you must paint the Max blue to use this decal.

Decal #3 Cherokee D
This one caught a slug of dirt or lint or one of my mustache hairs.
Do NOT sneeze in front of an Alps printer! There are lines across the red. I think you can see them in the pic. You don't have to buy both of them. I just didn't cut it yet. Two sets, $2 each! Only one left!

Decal # 4
Decxal #4 is a Citatiob Patriot decal printed in chrome gold just when my old Alps MD 5500 decided to crap out.
That cost me $600 to send to Japan and get it repaired! But...it did mess up three Citation Patriot roll patters. Sorry the fin red, white and blue body crest are not included with this but I can easily print that for you. Zoom in and you can see the oopes...not bad but not great. The problem is chrome gold CANNOT be removed from the paper. Either I sell them cheap or they are trash. Citation Patriot Upper Body Roll decal $1.00 each! All sold!

Decal # 5
Decal # 5 is the old Estes Condor.
I printed the color way too light. It was a scan from a faded decal. Cheap! Condore decal $0.50
