Okay, did a test print. At approx 0.06" diameter in 1/48, the logo is so tiny that it doesn't really read as anything with the best printer available to me (600 dpi xerox fiery laserprinter).The sky blue mushes into the brown surround, and the eagle is just a squiggle. It just isn't any better than the logo molded onto the resin part.

I'm not going to proceed until/unless I can figure something else out.

Thanks Johnny. That would be awesome! It will be a while before the spinner goes on this Boomerang!

Chris

I have a couple other things I need done anyway, so I was going to try doing my own. If you aren't in a rush ('cause I'm not exactly the speediest) I'd be happy to toss a few extra PW logos onto the sheet when I do it and drop them in the mail for you.

If you are willing to try inkjet decals, the P W logo has many images that show up with a google image search.  I just needed that logo for a Red Baron stearman and it worked fine.

Fundekals produced a sheet of P&W manufacturers engine decals for various scales, but unfortunately their website lists the sheet as sold out. Does anyone know of a retail stockist who might have this sheet, or failing that, does someone perhaps have this sheet who could spare one single 1/48 example please?
