Erfolg Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I have a set of decals they are some 35 years old, and are probably fragile. I am thinking of getting a new set copied, but by whom. Any Ideas, as to who and the typical cost. The biggest is about 1.5 times a A4 in length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Cut to half size between the 1 and 0 then copy and print onto decal paper light coat of laquer should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I've found Pyramid Models to be good. As their website explains they are having major construction work done so can't make decals just at the moment, but if you can wait a short while I can recommend their products. They do off-the-shelf and bespoke decal sets. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 BEB I am not sure i can use this company as they seem to use a dog as a rag roller to paint the walls. It is cruel! A link to the thread that this associated with, as i suspect i may need to recover or repaint the model in the near future. On that basis i guess two sets?

Flyer Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Had an email from Tim this afternoon; seems he's unable to take new orders until the Autumn. So have just placed an order with Pyramid. Hope Tim will be back shortly Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtom39 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Spoke to Tim last week. He does pick up his messages . (can take a few days though). He has produced excellent decals for me in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stevens 1 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 As Martian suggested above, Printing your own is very easy on your computer, even using a 16 yr old printer as I am doing now. Just order the appropriate paper online, cheap and easy and it even comes with instructions how to get the best results. You can get clear paper for darker markings - Plain black stencils work well on this stuff. If you have anything with any other sort of colour then use the white background paper to allow for the best colour otherwise the markings can end up very transparent and not what you want.. depending on the colour background they are being put on, if it is a white or light background, then no problem you can use the clear paper. The white background paper is ideal for where you have white in your markings as the majority of printers will not print white. I'm just finishing off the markings for my Morley Lynx AH-7, some done on clear background paper and some on white background paper.

DIGGER Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 As far as I'm concerned Callie graphics are the best. I have used them and find Callie very helpful to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Walby Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Just done an order for $60 with $7 P&P. Emailed yesterday with a question, reply within 3 hours order placed today (previous order turned up after a few days from placement). Service top notch.

Craig Carr Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Very impressed with Callie, fast response for my 78 inch Nijhuis Vulcan. Got the choice of traditional colour roundels or the “washed out “ anti flash version. Plus all the other graphics was $27 including delivery to uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 I am curious, as if declared as over £15, the handling charges, plus Vat will often dwarf the actual cost of the decals. Can this be managed to break orders into less than £15 and then paying a higher P&P or the P&P reflecting a more realistic charge of say $10? It is not the Vat I object to as this often pence, it is the astronomical handling charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIGGER Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I find the most amazing thing with Callie is how she can help with any size plane. I had an odd ball size model, I just sent her the wingspan size and back came the reply very quickly, no problem can size it to your model no extra charge. And they arrived in very fast time . Fantastic person to deal with, and postage to me in Cyprus very good. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR 71 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Hi Chris I'm from Limassol and fly at Ladies Mile,I will soon be ordering another set from Callie for a 1/4 scale F 104 star fighter, going to do the fin in a blue and white diamond of the Bavaria Air Force, the fin is huge 700x600 she said it was no problem to do the decal, amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Meade Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Have never had a handling charge or VAT stopped for decals from Callie, even on orders over £80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIGGER Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi SR 71 I have a friend that flys there as well Paul from polis way. It's to much of a journey for me, I'm in Peyia. It never ceases to amaze me what Callie can do, show her a picture or drawing of a plane, tell her the size of your model and she can do it, and I find the price very good. The quality is always excellent. I personally don't think you can beat her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Walby Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Decals ordered from Callie Graphics 09Aug18 arrived today including me checking to see where the order was last week and Callie humouring me by confirming dispatch and saying is normally 2 weeks for post! Good customer care and good product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
