Model Forum / General / Models / January 2006Revell "Big Boy" Decals
The decals as supplied with my Revell 1/87 Big Boy Locomotive are all over scale, several will not even fit - especially the loco numbers on the front boards. Has anyone come across a second source of decals for this kit? There is also an error in the instruction illustrations for the tender connector - it is upside down! Otherwise a nice kit to make. Thanks Mike Mike, Check the Walthers Catalog at your LHS--Walthers probably has an HO scale decal set for a UP Big Boy. It's worth a shot.

Thanks for the suggestion Art but we don't have them in UK, did check out Walthers web site - they have some beautiful models Had fun drooling over #573 Steam 4-8-8-4 Big Boy; Diecast, Powered w/LokSound -- Union Pacific #4002; 1941 w/After Cooler & 24,000-Gallon Tender HO at $749.99 - I guess folk do pay that kind of money for a model! Thanks Pete for http://microscale.com/decals/HO_scale/8763.jpg They look like a good bet for me, found them in UK at www.mgsharp.com/Microscale_u-v.htm Mike Great! I hope that they work for you. Peteski > Great! > I hope that they work for you. > > Peteski Probably a much better deal than Walthers' anyway. Microscale decals go on much nicer than original Walthers' Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. Try: http://microscale.com/decals/HO_scale/8763.jpg Peteski |
