Hello,
I have a question. I'd like to take 1/24-1/25 decals and shrink them to 1/64-1/72. I'm wondering what kind of quality I'll get. I have a couple of programs for the computer. Just need some advice and suggestions. Randy.

i reduced them 33 percent using mico marks decal paper they come out sort of transpernt looks good on light color cars i guess you need an alps printer to dark cars thanks bob

Thanks Bluerod,
I have a winter project to work on. Was the 33% reduction for T-Jets or 1/64 Cars? Randy.

You can scan them and reduce them in PhotoShop or CorelPaint. You'll have to remove all the blue background. You can print them using a regular ink jet printer and Avery clear address labels. If you want white backgrounds you'll have to use the Alps thermal wax printer or paint the background white first. (difficult) My method works well for light colored cars:

Thanks Scott,
I appreciate the help. I want to do some of these for some winter projects. One car I want to do is for next years Autofest Modeling Contest. Randy.

The Avery labels do work pretty well on the inside and outside, as on this lexan Taurus I did about 6 or 7 years ago: These decals came from a 1/24 scale model. The roof flaps were done in CorelDraw. (The horizontal one is backwards with the hinge facing forward. -Doh!)
