Plastic Model Recasting and where to find Decals

[Galaxy_Stranger]

I put this here after reading the rules for the model kits section and didn't want to infringe on anything.

First - I read a couple threads that mentioned recasting parts. I hadn't heard about this, but I've had the need for this in the past due to missing/melted parts in kits. Where do you even start going about doing this??

Second, I'm needing to find VF-84 Jolly Rogers 1/72 scale decals. This would be for playing around with applying to a Valkyrie, but I also bought an F-14 recently - and it came with paper decals!!!!! So, I need replacements, but can't find anything. All I can find is either the wrong scale or the wrong time period. Does anybody have any go-to sources for finding supplies like this?

Does this work?

Yeah - I had seen that particular one at the manufacturer's web site, but I couldn't find ANYTHING on Amazon, which I thought was odd. Wondered if there was a hidden stash of modeling decal stores somewhere on the 'net.

Whilst Amazon has a nice selection of stuff, there are a lot of model kits and aftermarket accessories you just can't buy from there. Hannants.co.uk, Squadron.com and Spruebrothers.com are a couple of good places for decals
