It's not easy to take a good pict' of this little decal set. I fault my cheepo camera!
TLAR Models is proud to present our first Decal sheet, to compliment Kit number 616, 1/700 USCG Point Class Cutter set.
Decals are scaled to the actual model with the appropriate 9 inch lettering & numerals for accurate USCG Vessels under 100 feet in length. You are going to want your magnifier goggles for these!
I'm a Modeler too, so redundancies were printed in case you sneeze, fart, drop, or lose track of the decal on the Model. I don't do "Tough Sh t, buy another one." at TLAR. You get at least 2 chances! I would want that. Why wouldn't you?
I do have a plenty of these, if you want to buy more than one.
I am proud to offer this dinky US Coast Guard decal sheet. I am absolutely delighted with the US vendor's meticulous efforts. I did NOT make them myself!
Here is what is included in this set.
In white 9-inch letters, for green camouflage-painted Vietnam War Cutters;
10 each, "U S COAST GUARD" decals, for both sides of the hull, or superstructure.
8 each, "POINT" decals for the first half of the Vessel's Name on Her stern.
2 each, WELCOME, GRACE, MARONE, HUDSON, GARNET, LEAGUE, ORIENT, SLOCUM, GREY, CYPRESS, ELLIS, and CAUTION for the other half of the Vessel's name! See?!?
10 each, "CG 823" Bow number decals
4 each 24 29 31 22 10 04 19 30 23 26 01 13 (to complete the bow numbers, see?!) Doubled, to give you more than one chance to apply the scale correct decals. The white decals ARE not easy to see on the sky blue backing paper. Mark says they're on there, and I trust him Implicitly!
In black 9-inch letters for post war USCG Point Class Cutters;
10 each, Coast Guard hull "racing stripes' with USCG crest. 5 Port side, 5 Starboard side.
12 each, "U S COAST GUARD" Useful on other 1/700 USCG aircraft and vessels under 100 ft. long as well!!)
6 each, "POINT" decals
2 each, BARNES, BROWER, CAMDEN, CARREW, CHICO, DIVIDE, DORAN, ELLIS, EVANS, HARRIS, HOBART, LOBOS, MARTIN, STEELE, STUART, and SWIFT (Gives a guy a second chance with a teeny decal!)
Then,
12 each, "CG 823" (Chop off the CG for domestic later service vessels)
4 each; 71 72 73 74 75 39 37 30 54 76 77 58 66 79 59 12, for completing the bow number. Much easier that trying to put 5 1/700 scale numerals on straight!
8 each 1/700 3X5' United States Flag as well.
The decals are printed under a continuous film, so take care in cutting out the ones you plan to use. Don't drop the whole thing in the water at the once! Silly!!
