I am looking for some information and possibly recommendations. I have decided to undertake a task of large proportion whereby I will need a lot of bespoke, made to requirement decals. Having never done this before, I'm not conversant with what the capabilities are out there. Some of the questions I'm looking to have answered are below: Are there specialised decal companies that will produce mass orders to client requirements? Are there companies that will create 'nose art' decals from a rough black and white photo? If there are and can to the above - can anyone recommend places/companies or can do it themselves and interested in producing some simple and some very difficult work? To give an idea of what I am looking at having done - I am going to attempt to replicate an entire squadron from World War Two of which my grandfather was a pilot in. It will just cover the period that he was in the squadron for and this rings out at 52 aircraft, the lost and the survivors. Mac

I need decals for 1/48 Grumman F3F-1 - any help please?
rmcclure posted a topic in Aircraft Interwar
Hi All, When I was within a few hours of finishing my Accurate Miniatures Grumman F3F-1 I stupidly managed to create a decal disaster when tape Iifted the National Insignia decals on the upper wings. I thought they were safe under several layers of Klear but apparently not. Hurrah. Does anybody know of a decal set that has National Insignia roundels of 21.5mm diameter? If any of you out there actually have any then I'd be delighted to buy them from you. I've mailed Mal at Miracle Masks to see when he could cut masks but I wanted to go down the decal route in the first place because of the contoured surface on the wings (ribbing, etc.) - my experience is that it makes applying masks a little tricky. Thanks all and I hope somebody can help. Cheers, Roger
