Specializing in obsolete kit decals for builders and collecters!

I'm Wolfgang from Germany and I collect, build and restore old Revell Authentic Kits which were produced from 1953 to 1960.  Missing or damaged decals in these old kits can be a big problem so I began looking for a printer that could do waterproof colors, including white, gold and silver, on waterslide decal paper The ideal printer turned out to be an Alps MD-1000; with this I can print all kinds of decals, working from a scan of an original sheet.

The original decals are usually yellowed and often suffer from colors that are out of registration. Have you tried to use an old decal? It probably has broken into many small pices. It has happened to me already a few times. This is very annoying.

It is almost impossible to produce acceptable replacement decals using bitmap files from Adobe Photoshop or similar programs so I create completely new vector artwork using Corel Draw.  This means that the outlines of all images are precise and sharp, rather than 'jaggy' bitmap images, and all the colors are in perfect register.

You can see a example of my work below

Since I only collect Revell kits, so far those are the only replacement decals available and more will be added as I complete the artwork.

All decals shown are now available for between $5 and $20 each, depending on size and complexity.
I print all decals with waterproof colors on extremly thin clear "Tango Papa" (see Links) waterslide decal paper.
I will, however, do custom decals for other manufacturers' kits at a somewhat higher price.

Please contact me for further details.
