NX-01 Decals?

[Smiling Demon]

Can anyone tell me where I can get replacement decals for the P.L. 1\350 Enterprise NX-01? The decals in my kit are missing!
I have checked JTGraphics and PnT Models and nothing unless I missed it.
Thanks,
Kenny

Model Kits Part Replacement Policy | Round 2 Models - AMT models, MPC models and Polar Lights models, including Star Trek kits.

Halfway down the page there is the decal replacement form. Just cut the UPC from the kit and photocopy the front page of the instructions. Or, if you don't want to cut the box up just send them money...

Thanks, but it appears that they only offer replacement stuff for the Refit and not the NX-01!!
Bummer and I got all excited too!

I think it just lists the refit stuff as examples. It does say that they cannot support most of the pre 2008 PL kits but not all. You could try emailing them to find out. You may get lucky.

This may not be as cheap as you'd want but it IS what you'd want.

Thanks d_jedi,
I am hitting myself on the head for not checking that site. I was just on there this morning looking for some other stuff and you are correct. That is exactly what I am looking for!!

Thanks again,
Kenny

No problem and you're welcome.. I know personally that sometimes the most obvious answer is also the hardest one to see.

Yes, they also have the aztec pattern for the NX-01 (which are almost as much as the kit itself; I bought them anyway, lol). The aztec decals are very detailed on a bunch of sheets; a great buy!

I am having a hard time making up my mind whether to get the painting templates or the decals. I know the decals are water slide but what is a good product to help them adhere to the model?

Use MicroSet and MicroSol by Microscalec Industries:

Also get yourself a bottle of Microscale's Liquid Decal Film to brush on the decals after they set in case any tear on you:

Any good hobby shop should have these products on the shelf. Or you can get them online. I Googled them and Amazon carries them.

For difficult odd shaped areas (like around the bridge dome) you can make a weak solution of water and white glue and brush that on before applying the decal on top of it. It will dry clear and the decal will not curl up on you.

Of course, make sure you start off with a glossy surface on your model to avoid silvering. Testors Glosscote from a rattle can works well before and after decal application or you can try Future acrylic floor polish brushed on or airbrushed.

Please forgive me if you already know most of this as I have no idea your level of experience with decals.

For decals i'm a HUGE fan of PNT models. Not only are they great decals, but for me he's local. He even came by my house a couple times to drop off some orders in person. Now that's service! Also, i'm loving his conversion kits. I got the destroyer/scout conversion from him as a cheat to help with my TOS style Kelvin.
