Hi there, Does anyone know where I could find/purchase some of the pre-war style HRD and Mercury crest decals without the white backing like the post war ones. I would prefer to use some on this Comet I'm restoring and I am ready to paint the tank very soon. Many thanks in advance..............Greg.

John Kidd in Ireland had some made up. I have found though that it was impossible to get them not to go grey in places after they dried and were clear coated, so I would not use them again. I think i would look to get someone else to make a batch. This picture is about the only close up I have and you can't really see the gray under the clear parts of the transfer.

If someone makes a batch I would be interested in both the Mercury crest and tank side decals.

I think I may have some Greg. I will need to check. I remember buying some from Conways many years ago. Both the HRD and Mercury crest transfers had no white lining.
