I won a shuttle so where can I get replacement decals
Posted by spong on Monday, September 1, 2008 3:45 PM

Hi ladies and Gents,

Last night at our monthly meeting(New Zealand Space flight Association) I won a 1/44th Scale shuttle with SRBs.

The Kit is built,painted etc.

I'm going to rebuild and repaint it so far I've stripped the paint off the SRBs and managed to get them apart so they can be reglued and sanded.

I'll take anything but I'd like to build Columbia from STS 107 so will require the meatball etc

Any ideas of where I can get them from.

 

Cheers

 

Chris

RealSpace Models makes what you need.  Cutting Edge also made decals for it, but they've gone out and while they can be found second-hand, the prices are insane sometimes.

I agree with Cassibill, Realspace is the way to go.  If you want to meet some great spacemodeler, hop over to the space modelers group at yahoo groups.  On a side note,  Cassibill, did Roadkill get the instructions I sent him?

I haven't heard if he has or not, Bud.  One of my chat buddies talks with Kevin by phone frequently, but I haven't heard from my chat buddy in a while. I'll have to check on them both and get back to you.

Update- I got word that Roadkill got them and is putting them to work.  He says thanks!

Chris, I have a set of Revell Decals for the shuttle Enterprise if you are interested in them. They serve no purpose to me.

Sean,

Hi. thanks for offer.

I'm looking for either Columbia STS107. 

Or the more recent ones with the meatball which has been applied to the wing(done when they went in for the two year overhaul)

But again thanks for the offer
