    Panel decals

    Hi guys, just a quick question about panel decals. Once I have painted my MIP etc I will be looking at adding the wonderful white lettering around the intruments and panels. What would be the easiest solution? Can I make them with my Canon MX320 inkjet printer? How do you guys get that awsome lettering without the CNC machine.

    Thanks
    Drewsta

    The decalpro system is pretty neat, and makes it very "DIY". The instructions state that you need a laser printer or toner based photocopier to make it work. Inkjet will not work with the process.

    Just found these while crawling the web:

    Aircraft Spruce sells MIP labels for a pretty reasonable price. If your panel is not too specialized it may be worth a look.
