Try Draw Decals, I believe they'll do it if you'll provide print-ready art.  Alternatively, is anyone on here in a position to supply such a service?

Hello,

I have another problem. I desperately need a scan of Academy 1/48 F-22 decals scanned at 1200dpi or higher in pdf format. Maybe somebody have this model and a scanner and can do that?

Hello,

Because there is no option that I could buy a proper AM wheels (f.ex. for F-15) I've decided to detail "kit" wheels:


Also, when analyzing photos, I realized that the angle of "verticals" is wrong. I've add a styrene strip to make'em more tilted


I had to buy expensive but unfortunately needed set

Hello,

I have F-22 in my modelling cave where I have more place. Now I'm testing colors. I bought Italeri paint set "Modern USAF/US Navy Aircraft" consisting of 6 colours. I have an idea how to get prismatic paint effect without "Raptor Sheen" but I have to test it. More important question is: what colors ale appropriate for Raptor? Light Ghost Gray overall, dark areas Dark Ghost Gray and Gull Gray brighter areas? This is my idea but in fact, I have no clue.

Hello,

After many trials, too much paints bought and more disappointments than I could count I managed to (almost) paint my Raptor :) Maybe it's too dark/too bright/too grey/too blue but in fact I have no idea what colors I can use to achieve better look. I'm limited to acrylic paints, I tried to mix some colors but mixes looked differently on the model than in the bottle.

Hello,

Yesterday, after almost a month I got bact to my Raptor. Painting is almost finished. Also, I've made a side photo. Since there is a possibility to change it, I want to ask you-don't you think that it's sits too high?

I'm no expert on Raptors, but it sits fine to my eye. I always remember the advice that if it looks right, it is right.

The paintwork is superb! I don't think I've ever seen a two-tone gray scheme more pleasing!

I think it is a slightly high.  :)  But its always up to your eye

Really great work on the scheme. I did a version of this but in darker colors on an F-117 and its a lot tougher than it looks. It was really challenging. Well done on this model, M8

Looks much better now
You've done a great job on this so far. I have been watching it over the past few months and am looking forward to seeing the final product.
