G'day all
I'm doing a build of Italeri's 1/72 OH-6 Cayuse as a civilian 500C, and I need some lettering, shapes and logos done. If you can do me a set of decals cheap or free (penniless high school graduate, no credit card), or you know of appropriate sized lettering (registration etc) please drop me a line as soon as you can.
Thanks a bunch, your help is greatly appreciated.

You could also look into buying decal paper, then simply making your own on your computer and printing them off. They even sell that stuff at Wal-Mart now.

Without a doubt, making your own is the best (and most satisfying) way to go. It`s very easy to do, but remember - apply THREE coats of clear varnish to the decal sheet before using it , otherwise the ink will run when you place it in water.
If you go to `Trucks -big and small` then look at `Finished at last`, you`ll see a set of home made decals on my Volvo truck.

Testor's have a custom decal system for make own decals using your computor, any good hobby shop would carry this item, I use their white decal films for my custom decals.
