Just about to commence work on a 1/144 Space shuttle and Boeing 747.. Sadly no decal sheet..Did a google search - cutting edge sounded great but they look to be closed down now.. Anyone know where I can find a set ? Thanks.

Have you looked at Real Space Models? I know they have the decals for the orbiter. I don't think there are many decals or logos on the 747 itself. If you are building the early version, you could get a set of American Airlines markings and a spare set of shuttle decals and get what you need from that.

Somebody 'paid it forward' for me once.

Time for me to do the same.

I have a old decal set for that kit.
It actually doesn't have the 'american' logo.
But it has the stripes numbers etc.
Its yours if you want it.

Send a PM with your address and I'll get it right out.

I'll also include a good article from a about 20 years ago on a build-up of that.
It covered a good way to do the logo.

The current scheme is even easier.

There was a great article on building this kit in the FineScale Modeler special 'Famous Spaceships of Fact and Fantasy'.

If you can't get a copy I'll see if I can find mine and post some scans...
