Does anyone know a good website to find scanned old decals to print out yourself?  So many of my kits  are so old the decals fall apart so easily. I tried spraying them with surfacer and other techniques and they still crumble.

which ones do you need? let me know and i'll see if i can either scope some out, or if needbe, make them up in potoshop for yu.

Great work @nightmareB4macross

OK! Time for a massive update on current projects, 1/72 Academy F-15 Strike Eagle 🦅 is next up! Oddly this is one of the few 1/72 aircraft I never built as a teenager, not sure why, but anywhoo, this is a fantastic kit from Academy so far. Lightyears past the A-10 kit as far as fit and finish. Even better than the Hornet I think. Modded for gear up and also with resin pilots with crazy looking VR helmets or something, had to use the two pack of pilots for a Mirage 2000. Close enough. Cockpit and pilots finished up this morning and after that main assembly was completed. Other than doing the canopy, (UHHGGG) this one's almost ready for black primer! 

Side project two ✌️.... Tamiya 1/72 F-16. Absolutely one of my favorite planes ever to fly! Never say die! Iron Eagle! Hahaha! This is actually my VERY FIRST ever proper Tamiya model kit, so far fit and finish is absolutely perfect. Slightly fiddley due to the size of the kit, but very very good so far.... More to come.. 

Finally, painting continues on the 1/500 Bandai Yamato, Going super simple with this one, NO primer, just Vallejo Model Air Medium Gunship Grey and Fire Red airbrushed right onto the colored plastic. I'll weather it some later, but this kit is SOO much fun, it's huge and just looks freakin awesome! 

Stay tuned!

More progress on my Eva girl sofubi set. Unfortunately, I cannot do justice to the original character designs by Sadamoto with a paintbrush, but I guess this effort is acceptable. No eyebrows yet and the hair color you see is merely preshading. But I suppose the eyes for Rei and Asuka are done, with the finishing touch being the light pools in their eyes.
