Decal problems
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, June 2, 2005 10:05 PM
I am building the 1/72 scale Fujime SH-3H and the decals will not come off the sheet without tearing. I have been experimenting with decals I won't need and have tried cold, warm and hot water. Since I actually flew the aircraft depicted in the kit (same serial #) I really want to use these decals if possible. Any ideas?

You could try photocopying them onto different decal paper if you can through your computer

I have a good photo quality printer and a scanner. Where do I get the decal paper.

You can get them at hobby shops, Hobby Lobby stores, and even Wal Mart has the Testors Decal system with the paper and the fixative needed to protect the ink on the decal. (about $6 for the whole lot I believe)

Good luck!

(And of course if you don't have any of these nearby you can order them from www.testors.com or any online hobby source.)

You can also try www.micromark.com, they have sets for laser & inkjets. You actually flew the exact SeaKing the kit is depicting? Well, I think thats kinda cool! Any more info as to what you and your outfit did?
