Hello, I have an old Revell Parts Pack decal sheet that is missing a couple of decals, but I know what the images are.  I'm wanting to try and recreate a new version of this old sheet, but with better images on it.  I've found good images of most all the decals on the sheet, but I'm having problems with a couple of them.  I'm looking for a good pic of the Shift Master decal, I've found a similar pic that I can probably modify to work, but was hoping to find a better pic.  Same with the Deist Dragin Chutes, I found a pic but would like to find a better one if possible.  I haven't been able to find a pic of the Mickey Thompson Forged Aluminum Piston decal.  There is also a triangle shape decal that I can't make out, it has a figure and looks like it has the first word of "Wedge", but is blurry when I try to zoom in on it.  And finally in the last picture attached I can't make out the name to try and do a search.  It kind of looks like it starts with a "P" and then looks like the word "Parts" and the last word looks like either "Complete or Obsolete".  Any one have an idea what this one is?  I'm hoping to have the decal sheet finished up in the near future and have it available to order.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

The red triangle appears to be a logo for Wedge Engineering, an auto parts manufacturer primarily known today for making seat brackets.

Thanks for the info, I tried looking online, but still haven't found a pic of it yet.  I'll have to do some more looking and hopefully find a pic to use.

Thanks for the help that has been provided so far to try and do up this decal sheet.  I forgot one other decal from the original sheet I don't know about.  On the right side is an oval shape with the lettering of "Checkers" and some sort of image.  I've never seen a decal like this before, has anyone else?

Found some old decals. Are these anything you can use?

Thanks for the pics, I've saved them for reference.  The first one is the sheet I have that I'm trying to replicate, and it looks like yours is a little clearer and in nicer shape than the one I have.  I've found some good images of almost all the decals on it but like 3 of them so far.  The other 2 sheets you show would be fairly easy to replicate also, would just need to know what the missing decals were.

Those are all awesome decals. I wish someone in the aftermarket would do up a sheet of them.

I'm trying to replicate the decal sheet in my original post, and the first one in the above post, and make them available to buy.  The other 2 sheets would be easy to do also, just need to know what decals are missing from the cut out areas.

After typing my response about the other 2 decal sheets I was looking at them and realized they are the same sheets, just showing what was missing from each one.

That's the Checkers Motorcycle Club. They do off-road and desert racing - I have a friend who was a member.

Thank you for the image, that will help a lot with the sheet.  So now the only 2 I haven't been able to find good pics of is the Mickey Thompson Alum Piston and the Wedge Engineering ones, but I'm still try. I really appreciate all the help so far.

On the first sheet as you may be able to see by the outline, I'm pretty sure those were Chevrolet Bow Tie emblems. On the other two I really don't remember. I bought and used these decals in the last century, so I just don't recall.

The first picture I posted is a scan of the decal sheet I have, and you can see 2 areas of missing decals.  I was able to find a somewhat decent pic of a full decal sheet to see what the missing ones were.  The one at the top is a Chevrolet decal, and the other area was an Engle Cam one.  Here are the images I was able to find of them.

To me the other 2 decal sheets look like they are the same sheet, just with different decals missing, so by combining the 2 you can come up with what the full original one looked like.  I will try and see if I can duplicate that sheet also.

Are you going to offer reproductions?

Yes, my plan to make them available to buy.  Also, I used the 2 pics you posted above, and I think this is what the sheet originally looked like.
