Here is a thread link to how I have made decals in the past. you don't have to stick to geometric shapes with this program. You can add images as well to do nose art, etc. It has been a while since I have made any, but everything should still work the same. One key I figured out is to put light, but full coats of clear on the sheet to cover the ink. heavy coats of clear just don't allow the waterslide decals to work properly.

What is the story on the prop on the P-47? Did you cast one or have one cast? I am wondering because I should be doing some repaints of Bubble tops soon. '
Thanks

My son "Warbird Kid" forgot one thing about the P-47 prop. When we got it, it came with a Curtiss hub. I had to make a Hamilton Standard hub.
