Darkhorse - that ship looks really good! I know it's been fighting you, but I think you came out on top! Sorry for not replying sooner about the decal printing companies, but I have a slight problem recommending a company in the USA to do it for you. DRAW! decals used to take orders like that, I don't know if he still does. In Germany I have ordered from a company called Decalprint - they did a fine job printing decals for my truck, including very nice silver patterns. And in Poland I order from a company called MeliusManu - those boys know their job well, but sometimes take weeks to print something for you.

Melius Manu also printed very nice white and silver pattern for me and their decals respond very well to Micro Sol&Set, and Solvaset, too.

Thanks for sharing and good luck with that guitar

Thanks for the encouragement when things got tough, Paweł! And thanks for all the comments in this thread.

I do need to take a break from modeling, I’ve been doing it consistently since August and need a respite from the glue, paint and dust. BUT I was just mulling over today what my next ship should be. There’s just something about model ships.

Revell recently released a new 1/144 Flower Class Corvette. I’m midway through building it and I like it a lot. I’d suggest it.

Your ship turned out very well.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
