I found the decals I've been searching for (at least I'm pretty sure of it). Still waiting to hear back with an order confirmation. Flightdecs in Canada had the out-of-production aftermarket sheet from Two Bobs I was looking for.

Next question - I've never used an aftermarket decal before. Is there anything special one should watch out for with these? I assume Two Bobs use some pretty nice methods both in printing and the decal film itself for them to be so popular.

Thanks for all the suggestions from the previous thread too.

I haven't used many of Two Bobs' sheets, but those that I have were very good quality. Use them like any other decal with the setting solutions of your choice, but they won't require as much as the typical kit decal. Most aftermarket decals are thinner than kit decals as they are intended for the more experienced modeler, while kit decals are designed to hold up for the less experienced. Still, always a good idea to test any sheet by using a non-essential decal first just to be sure.

I've found Twobob's decals to work just fine with MicroSet - haven't needed MicroSol with them at all. Very nice decals, I think you'll enjoy them a lot! Thumbs Up [tup]
