Default Help finding large decals please?

Hi
I would like to build a 1/16 Lancaster (74-inch span) but I can't find any decals that big. They must be available, coz there are guys building much bigger models - can anyone help please?

Thank you
Phil

It is easy to make your own decals/ Decal paper is readily available [Walmart or Office Depot and an Inkjet printer.

What specifically are you hunting decal wise?

Insignia and fuselage numbers are better painted at that scale. Smaller nomenclature easier to decal or dry transfer.

Try searching Military/Graphics. Lots of quality decals but I'm not sure they have what you are looking for.

Many modelers have graphics made by Calle. http://www.callie-graphics.com/ She does a great job and at a reasonable cost.
