Hi all,

Does anyone here know who may be able to do some custom decal work for me for a sub kit? I'm getting really closed to finishing construction of a 1/144 Seawolf submarine and so I'm trying to get correct decals for it as the ones that came with the kit are all wrong. I have all pics of most of the ones I would like but I don't know where to turn to for this as there are no aftermarket (that I'm aware of) for this sub.

Any help will be appreciated,

Rob

Drop Skyway Model Shop a line'; I saw a set from Yankee Modelworks there last weekend.

and ELS Trains. They made some for me a few years back. Then they were using an ALPS printer, now it's laser I think. I used Future under and over and then dullcoat, not sure if a solvent-type without the Future might do harm, altho Micro-Sol worked well on them to conform over a weld seam.
