FenderBean,

We GetStencils.com can make printed vinyl or dry transfer decals, and we can make paint mask stencils as well. Drop Vikie an email at [email protected]</p>

I've never found anyone in the states that can do a decend job. Lots of stickers, but no real decals. Someone makes some transfers, but they cost a fortune by the time you pay for artwork, layout, etc.
I use Ralle at Taylormade decals in Germany. Great service, does custom jobs at reasonable prices.

F106A,

First, I will put the quality of our decals up against any on the market. Second, we do not charge artwork, layout, or setup fees on our dry transfers.

Do a searh on RCUnviverse or RCScaleBuilder and you will find that we have many satisfied customers.</p>

Hi FenderBean
In order to resize images without loosing resolution of the image one would have to convert the image to vector format as raster images (jpg/bmp/tif etc) start to loose resolution if enlarged by a multiple of times. For this reason Coreldraw and Photoshop and Illustrator can be used to convert images. If you are subscribed to Jetpower magazine there were a number of articles covering this topic. Here is an example of the Greek Corsair which i am sure you know. The pirate image has been enlarged and then converted to vector format. The latter can be enlarged to any size without any loss in resolution.
Hope this helps.
