Testors #9198 Custom Decal System

Reviewed by Jack E. Norton, #41593

Dear fellow modelers, I have found a new product from TESTORS that you may like.  It is a custom decal system for inkjet printers.  The kit contains 1 sheet of clear, 1 sheet of white 5 ½ x 8 ½ decal paper, a 3 oz can of decal bonder and a mini CD.

I found the product to be very easy to use, having no decal making experience.  There are aircraft badges ,car side badges, license plates, and some custom graphics.  The instructions are very simple to follow. Make sure to load the paper vertically.  It shows this on the layout before you print.

There is a 1-800 number to order refills for the bonder and decal paper, but you can find 8 ½ x 11 paper on the internet cheaper.  There is an upgrade CD you can buy as well that contains many more graphics.  I purchased it and am very happy with it.  This product can be found at Wal-Mart; mine was purchased at a hobby shop for $7.00.  The upgrade CD is $9.99 plus shipping.  System requirements: PC running Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP with 32 MB RAM (64MB for Windows 2000/XP) VGA or higher monitor (800 x 600 resolution or higher recommended).  CD-ROM drive Windows-compatible inkjet printer 64MB of available hard-disk space.

I hope you find this product as useful as I did.
