Howdy Itsa,

if you will look here, http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=+B+17G+decals I might be able to use one of my 5 photo editing programs to enlarge a set of decals for you (provided you find the set you need). Hopefully, I can size it, save it and email it to you and if you have access to decal paper for your printer and some "fixitive" (so the ink won't blurr when immersed in water) you can print them off yourself.

Or..............maybe you can find a set that you can order.

If you find a set, post the link here and I will see what I can do.

Hope this helps,

ps I have decal making software from testors, its a great investment. Its called "sure thing decal maker". http://www.decalgear.com/DG/Category.asp?CatCode=DM_FEATURES

somewhere on this forum i have posted a contact e-mail and/or phone no. (cant remember) and the name of the guy at revel to get hold of decal sheets.

(a tip, dont tell them you ruined them, tell them their never were any in the kit and you will get them for free, otherwise you have to pay £5 for them.....depends how honest you want to be!!)

i will try and find the post and post it here!

Richard im going to contact the guy at revell and see what happens with that. thanks

Greg i dont have any decal paper nor the ink that you have mentioned. but do you think that you would be able to size them and then print them on a photo paper and then cut the out and apply a clear varnish over the entire model to keep them in place?

thanks to both of you guys!

if you did that...

1. it might not stick

2. it would be far, far to thick and could see them sticking out from a mile away.

check this place out...

..no special ink needed just your normal inkjet printer...or a colour lazer printer if your rich enough!!

Howdy Itsa,

Well, I think that sizing them and printing them off onto regular paper would be a possibility especially if you have some "decalit" transfer medium.

Its similar to white glue but dries clear and all you do is cover the image with this liquid, allow to dry, cut out and then soak in water like any decal. The only drawback is that these decals are not self adhesive, you must put thin coat of the fluid on the underside of the decal for it to stick , and let it dry after applying it to the model.

I looked on google for the stuff but cant find it. But I know walmart has it here.

But, yes, you could print them on photo paper, cut them out and varnish them. However, you may wish to stop in the craft section of your local wal mart....K mart, etc and buy some fixitive spray to coat the decals prior to varnishing them to keep the colors from running.

Hope this helps, if you need something resized, let me know.
