Tried Major Decals, who seem to have only 1" minimum. Seeking letters 'A' and 'T' in above size (2 of each) for a Scale project -- prefer water slide but will accept pressure sensitive.
Anyone? Anyone?

Why not make your own? Get the decal paper from Micro-Mark.com, print them on your printer and you control the style, font, size, color, etc. This works! Note that Micro-Mark offers 4 styles of decal paper: Clear and White for either Inkjet or Laser. So be sure you order the correct style of paper.
You'll also need a "fixative". I use Krylon "Crystal Clear" Acrylic spray cans, about 5 coats beginning with only a light dusting. Then cut the decals out, as close to the color line as possible and apply just like the decals in kits of yore. At least one more coat of something to fuel-proof the edges is necessary after application.
The decal paper costs about $1 per sheet (8½ x 11), and Micro-Mark ships very quickly. My last order was on a Friday and the box arrived on Tuesday!
Have fun . . .

Mike, if you do not find the water slide I can do the pressure sensative (stick on vinyl graphics) for you. I would just need a few more details and we can cut them for you.

#7 sourceJim can make you stencils of them and you can paint them on, too. That way it won't look like an R/C car!!!

Hi Mike, try using decals for scale plastic models, many sizes and kinds
of script. Also try model railroad decals. I'll look in my scale parts
boxes, I've got many decal pieces and sets for various scales. Do you
know about decal setting solution? It will make decals suck down onto
very complicated surfaces. Good Luck;

While I have a rather large collection of plastic scale kits, I'd rather not cannibalize their decal sets -- although that could become a last resort.
We do have a so-called hobby shop nearby that specializes in R/C cars, so perhaps they'd have what I need.
Meanwhile, I've sent my requirements to Jim Snelson, so will first wait to see his reply.

Mike, I am referring to after market decal sets, they don't come
with the kits. here's a few ..Superscale, Microscale,Archer,
the list goes on and on, this is just one site!....
http://modelingmadness.com/decals/decalsacs.htm
If you have a specific color in mind, please let me know, I have
been saving aftermarket and leftover kit decals since 1974.
I have often used plastic model decals for U/C models over the
years. I will give you(FREEeeee!) whatever you want if I have it.

#9 sourceThanx for the tips, everyone. Jim Snelson at CL Central has it covered.
NEXT year's Scale project will use masks for sprayed-on markings (good idea, Chris) --- and Tony G., I may be in touch for some special mil-spec stuff from that collection of yours. THIS year's project, though, is now a "done deal".
Thanx again, all.
