Ahoy, mates!
Bad experience this morning...was beginning to apply decals/markings to my U.S. New Jersey for the Dreadnoughts! campaign, and quickly realized (as the helicopter pad main decal disintegrated before my very eyes!) that the decal set that was provided in my kit is junk, and will need a replacement set soon...searched all the regular sites and a few obscure ones this morning, with no luck...I need some help, mates...does anyone know of, or have an extra set laying around, 1/700 scale, modern (1983)? Please let me know...

Hi Mark!

It's a bummer - particularly because it's a new model!!
I can't help you on this issue - try and buy some 1/700 modern navy decals!

Skipper

Tell me about it, Skipper!
The generic sets that are listed aren't even close...may have to try to handpaint (YIKES!) the helipad at least... I'm not at all pleased about this, and the more that I think about it, ....
Gunny

Don't panic (yet) Mark...
I know that I have seen decal sets that include helipads decals - give me a while

Skipper

Gunny

A little update on my recent decal situation...I need help! ...I have searched at LEAST two dozen websites for the decal sheet that i need, called the local hobby stores, and still no dice... has anyone seen this sheet offered anywhere???...follow the link previously posted by the Skipper to view what I'm looking for...

Although it's now marked as Out of Stock, you should contact HLJ - the service is great - they will try to find it for you!

Skipper

Thanks, Skipper! that's the closest I've came yet...and half a sandwich is better than none at all! I'll definitely contact them and see what happens...
Gunny

Success!
Thanks, Rui, for steering me to Hobby Link, Bro!
Just was notified that they found my decals that I was looking for, so I promptly paypalled(is that a real word?) and am waiting for my markings to arrive from Japan...

Gunny

Great news Mark!

Glad I could help
