Nice pix and work....now to get the OldCrow, if it is still available. The missing name on the right side of the fuselage is THE VERY reason I did not purchase this offering to begin with!
Hope to PM you in a few days with an order for the "fix"....thanks,
dV

Great decals. It's weird that they were available for $3.00 a set and now that BCA got their hands on 'em they're now $5.50. WTF!!!!!!!! Talk about screwing people. Great job BCA!!!!!! What are you going to do, offer free shipping on them? That's O.K., you can keep your 1st class stamp!

Hey Jackson, great for you! I understand that "The Big Guys" will buy more but personally I would rather give you the $5.50 than them. It's YOUR ideal and YOU should benefit from it most. Don't take the sarcasm the wrong way, none was meant for you!!!! It would be great if you could offer the "Forum Members" the original price for the decals. If you can't I'm sure we'll all understand. Good luck with future products and keep up the great work.

Whats best in the long run, the stencil fix in customs and mods forum, or
the easier decal fix spoken of here?

Well, I guess it just depends on your skills and your wallet. The stencil fix I did is a bit more involved. You have to tape, trace, remove the tape, cut out the tracing, reapply the tape to the blank side, mask the plane, and spray paint. The advantage is that this method is free.

The decal takes less time and you only have to cut it out, wet it, and then apply it and let it dry. It will cost you the $5.50 though, so I guess its just up to you.
As for the long run, decals can peel, crack or discolor over time, especailly if no sealant is applied. Paint is a bit more permanent.
