                              I've been looking at F-15C Aggressor markings for an F-15 kit I have. And I thought, why pay $20 for five different marking schemes, when I'm only going to use one? I'll never build five aggressor Eagles. In fact, I have a large ziploc bag full of leftover decals from other projects I'll probably never use. Some are over a decade old. Surely I'm not the only one who has a decal stash.

                             Has anyone ever seen a swap or trade setup for decals? If you're in a club, have you ever done it?

                        Me, too.  A kind member replaced an important decal I damaged, no charge, and he didn't need a swap of anything.  Just ask if you need something, or offer if you have something to give away.

                        This does not seem to violate the rules of the forum.

                        Yeah, I've thought about throwing together some sort of swap thread. Not sure if it would violate the rules of the forum if we're not buying or selling.
