Finding decals

I'm trying to find a set of USAF decals for a 1:72 C-7 Caribou. I've checked squadron.com and tried using google and yahoo and I've had no such luck.

As far as I know Hobbycraft are the only people making a 1/72 Caribou and the decals for the kit are the only ones around.
From pictures I have seen of the completed kit you should pretty much able to improvise using decals for other planes.
Here's a review of a Caribou some guy did it mentions some decals he replaced and where he found them.

Good Luck

Re: Finding decals


That's the first place I checked and I couldn't find any. I think Hobbycraft make the only 1/72 Caribou so it isn't too likely you will find too many decal companies making products for just one model. I hope I'm wrong, good luck with the search.

Well it's looking like you're right. I was expecting this result just because it is the only 1:72 Caribou

Re: Finding decals

There's always the last resort, and I'm not talking about the Eagles' song:
Testors - 9198

Custom Decal System

Now it’s easy to produce your own quality decals with a PC and an ink jet printer. The new Testor Custom Decal Maker allows the model builder to produce high quality decals for any of their model projects. By using the included image database, modelers can choose anything from car flames and graphics to license plates and aircraft markings. Once an image is chosen the modeler can add text, change the color or adjust the images to their needs. An upgrade CD can be bought for only $9.99 which will allow the modeler to import photos and a free form section so modelers can design their own decals for a personalized touch. The upgrade CD can be found at decalgear.com The Custom Decal Maker includes two sheets of 5.5” X 8.5” decal paper one clear and one white, 1 3oz. Can of Decal Bonder and one CD that include the software and designs.
