Here are Lex and Sara done with decals from Carrier Deck Decals. Lex got the "regular" deck color and for Sara I went with the "faded" color design.

I admit I love these decals. They make the flattops just pop! Thanks for looking!

Thanks! Your designs and the partnerships with XPForge and Flight Deck Decals are great. It makes flattops much simpler...no more trying to figure out how to get the dashed lines "just so"...

Any chance you're working on the Implacable and Colossus class UK carriers?

Cheers!

I'm happy happy to work with both of them. Solid small businesses and easy to work with.

As for the carriers; not immediately but they are somewhere in the pipeline. If you want to see them sooner feel free to reach out. Recently I've been doing about 85% commissioned models so I'm not picking the next design much anymore.

I recently did a Kaga, Belleau Wood, and Bunker Hill. I'd love to have them for my other carriers. Now they don't hold a candle to my new paints.

You can always ask Dan, but I know he's not hip to try to work with too many different vendors. I've got a Hancock trimmed up and it fits very nicely on Tiny Thingamajigs Essex-style carrier that's been waiting to get painted. I'm thinking about ordering some decals to see if I can make it fit/still look good...

Let's see some pics!

I'm just looking at my Joffre and Painleve and wishing it was even available.

I'm interested in trying out Flight Deck Decals, I've got an XPForge 1936 Ryujo I might try some decals on.
