Decal gurus, I need this decal. P-51

I need this decal in 32nd scale. Any ideas? It’s the only piece missing from an old build that bugs me to this day. Doesn’t have to be printed on white as I can use white styrene for the panel. Any ideas? Anyone want to print one for a small fee?

It does not need to be a decal at all. Straighten up that pic in Photoshop (use the “distort” tool), resize to scale, and print on white paper. Cut out and glue it to your styrene. Bada-bing, bada-boom.

Good idea. I don’t have photoshop though. I’ll see if any of my work computers do.

Thanks.

another option i’ve used before…print out the pic…use a photo copier with the resize option to scale it down by percentages, some trial and error and you should get it.

I’ve straightened it and cropped it for you. Just download this and you can use Windows Paint to resize to the what you need (use the stretch menu item and reduce the %)

Thanks everyone, for the help. This is going to work like a charm and I learned a few things too.

I think I’ve went beyond the limits of my printer. Once the image was reduced to 32nd and even 48th scale the printing become a vauge blob. At a glance it sort of looks the part it needs to play and that’s what counts.

What size do you need it?

Wingnut,

33/64 wide, 23/64 high.

The one I printed is to big for the plate and it’s already an unrecognizable blob. If I make it smaller it will be worse. This cheap printer isn’t made for this kind of work.
