I know there was a similar thread somewhere, but can't find it, so...

I've got a gourgeous little kit of Cessna 172H /1:48 Minicraft/ which I started yeasterday and it's almost ready for paint today!!! One of the easiest and most pleasurables kits I had and very good looking too.
Anyway, I've decided to built No.210, I have Max Decals sheet with threecoloured boss and I can make my own templates for the numbers. But what I do miss is yellow Pluto dog - on the fin, manufacturers logo in white for the fuselage and every yellow stencil all over the aircraft...

I know about the decal paper, but I will need white, not only white paper and nice opaque colours for the little yellow stencils...

Anyone knows where or who can do it?
Cheers

Filip

Hi guys, pulling out old thread...

Thanks to Paddy Ghengis, we have found source in Dutchland, we've got some decals printed and we have tried them and they work well. Very well, even the white is nice and opaque...anyway...

I will need some more small bits done and wonder if anyone is interested in joining me in to share the cost. I think it's around 30yoyos for A4 sheet printed, so there's a lot of room. I can do the graphix as long as I have proper references.

Any takers?

Me too. There are some decals Alan needs for his Strikemasters and I need one or two of the Martin's Marvellous Mini decals re-done as they changed the font and size of some of the text last time (might have been my fault but they need redone anyway).

Is there a time-line? When are you sending in the order?

Not in particular rush, Liam, but, from the other hand, I'd like to send it off asap. I have to do my samples and have to sit down and think for a while what I should be getting, so I will not be stuck again in a few weeks time. It's the small bits which my plotter isn't able to cut - and which I thought that it will - like serial numbers, 'Palmer Cord...' on tyres of the Bristols in progress and so on. And we'll wait for other guys to see if they are stuck for something.

Try to convert any font into curves before you'll email it to me, it wont get distorted that way.
