Anyone know Where to go to get quality reproduction decals

THIS guy on ebay sells good quality repro decals.

There's someone on TamiyaClub who does it.
Can't remember who, off the top of my head.
Might even be the same person as larbut linked.

Just a word of caution,
be wary of sellers in Asia with low feedback ratings.
I have heard their decals are of poor quality, and when their feedback rating becomes too low, they start a new account.

But saying that, there does appear to be good quality repro decals around.

I spoke with him through eBay
Thanks

I just got a couple of decals from Tamiyoman (on TC) or "tamkyo-repro-rc-items" on Ebay (same person), and the decals are vey high quality. Recommended to all!

Inkjet printable sticky-back sheets are available (Also on Ebay) if you fancy having a go at printing your own. Make sure you get the thinner stuff & that it's the weatherproof version. Remember you can't print white - I usually get white AND clear sheets to get around this. You will also need a program for editing images & for resizing/placing images on A4 sheets (I use a combination of 'paint' & Greenstreet Publisher, which is similar to Microsoft's Publisher). Most Decal scans need resizing, a bit of 'tidying up' &/or colour adjustment & this can be tedious. Another option is to get the images printed at a professional print shop (They CAN print white) BUT they'll probably ask for a vectorised file (ie not jpg, bmp etc) to print from
