Question About Decals

I understand that Vedec or something like that makes 1:18 Decals... My question is where can I get them or how to get a hold of them and if you can make custom decal orders from this company...
It doesnt have to be this company in particular but i just heard this one first... Does anyone print there own decals at home using water slide paper...

BadCat offers a wide selection of Vexilarius's decals. You may also want to contact boardmember Jackson, as he's the guy working the magic behind making the decals :wink:

John's Stuff makes a selection of very nice decals for 1/18 aircraft and armor that are available through Good Stuff to Go (http://www.goodstufftogo.net).

I have done some custom decals for custom projects.

I have done Charlie Bonds P-40B #5, and the end result looks ten times better than 21st job.

Lair Quality

If you'd like to see exactly how good (boy is THAT and understatement!!) Lair is making custom decals, check out the "Mods and Customs" area and look for the F-86F-30-NA Fighter-Bomber pictures. The markings are all South African Air Force....All done by Lair. I can't say enough about how accurate and remarkable they are even up close.

Yes they do look fantastic, and I find it remarkable how closely the model matches the pic of the real thing.

Funny, I too need a custom decal made here recently. I want one to cover Eaglestons name on my 1:18 P-47 "Eileen" canopy. That name shouldn't be there :P
