Looking for help getting a decal made. Thanks to Nicholas Henson, I was able to get my hands on the long out of print Ricambi decal set for the old Monogram mid-engine Scarab racer. All was going well until the last two roundels were going on the car. The sheet had been folded at some time, and one of the roundels/numbers shattered into too many pieces to put back together on the car. The project is now stalled, and I absolutely do not want to strip it for another version. I have a 300dpi scan of the original sheet, and was hoping one of the ALPS gurus could print up a couple of the roundels. Thanks!

You don't need an Alps for the roundels; print the numbers on white decal film using a standard laser printer (or even a copier), then trim. All anyone would really need is a crisp image of the font, or the font itself. Make plenty of them, and use the best two that you trim out. If you have clear decal film only you can print just the black numbers, layer them "Fred Cady style" over a white roundel that you might be able to trim out of parts-box white decals or plain roundels.

BTW, sweet model :o
