[Closed] Can any one tell me where I can locate 1/43 scale decall sheet

Well, if you can be bothered, and have access to a colour printer ...

here are some you might be able to use.

I found a decal sheet of 1:43 U.S. licence plates in a shop in Paris quite a few years ago, produced under the name Revolution 43.
I don't know if they are still to be found anywhere.

I have scanned them at a fairly high print quality (300 dots per inch).
They can be printed on any kind of glossy paper or thin card and simply cut out and glued to the plateholders on the model.

Right-click on the image above and click "Save as" to make a JPEG.
To reduce/enlarge, drag the corner handles of the image in or out
(They are actually displaying here larger than life-size. When copied and printed they may
still be slightly too big for some so-called 1:43 models and will
need reducing slightly, but they are about right for something like a Brooklin.)
If you don't have a decent photo editor, import the JPEG into PowerPoint,
drag the corner handles to adjust the size (you may need to experiment) then print the "slide".

If they don't come out quite clear enough you can e-mail me at
graeme(dot)ogg(at)btconnect(dot)com and I can send a 400dpi version,
but I think they should be good enough at the scale you need.

On the other hand, if you'd like to make personalised plates,
there is a fun website called "ACME License Maker".

ACME

Choose a State and a year, key in your own licence number and click "Make license".
Then right-click on the image of the finished plate and key "Save image as" and save as a JPEG
which you can duplicate and/or re-size and print.

Here are a few samples I've just quickly knocked out for illustration:

But if you what you really want is a new sheet of ready-made decals, sorry, maybe someone else will have a suggestion.

Well done, Graeme.

There are some available on ebay right now, and the seller is a person well-known in our hobby. See item no. 201651535689. I have no financial interest here, just passing along the information. If you can't take advantage of Graeme's generous effort, perhaps these would be an alternative.

I have used these license plates and they work very well. They really add a lot to our 43rd-scale models!

Hmmm, they look a little crude and fuzzy to me.

but it's maybe just a poor photo.

With model scale being a bit of a moveable feast they look as if they might be too big for some of the smaller interpretations of 1:43 (and certainly for older generations of diecasts) in which case you might have to photocopy or scan to make them smaller, which of course rules out the advantage of buying them ready-made!

Anyway the $16 shipping charge to Europe would put me off, even if I needed them. Interesting to see somebody does produce them, though.

It is a poor photo, Graeme. They're actually quite good, and not blurred at all. I also have a set of Texas plate decals, and they're excellent as well.

The shipping though would be a concern. They weigh nothing and the seller offers free shipping in the US, meaning that they'll go in a first-class envelope with nothing more than a stamp. I would think that since a first-class letter to the UK is only about $1.15, the shipping might be negotiable. Otherwise, I wouldn't be interested either! Why would they have to go priority, I wonder, since my letters to the UK only take 5-7 days as a rule?

At any rate, again I have no financial stake in this but am only trying to offer suggestions. The plates are fine, though, and not fuzzy as shown in the listing photo.

PIC Alex, I would recommend "ThreeInchesUnder" in Ohio...

Last year I bought sets of 40s and 50s plates from them.
These are printed on thin cardboard and have to be cut out.

When did you get a Porsche Graham? Also,.....

Just looking at the scanned sheet I see an error on the Tennessee plate. It says "Memphis" along the bottom. TN plates specify counties, not cities, so this one should have said "Shelby".

Before using ACME probably vist plateshack.com first for older plates...

About 1972, I think Harvey. Made by Politoys, if I remember rightly..

Actually I was just trying to be clever and the use the American "911" rather the the British "999" emergency number (he explained, with plodding earnestness).

Surprised there is a mistake on the Tennessee plate, they all look like copies taken from real plates. Maybe folks actually resident in the city of Memphis could use this variant?

Just took a look at Plateshack.com

Wow, that's amazing. And I see you can right-click on the photo of any plate and save it as a JPEG. Then figure out how to scale it down to 1:43. Then figure out how much printer ink you can afford to make plates for all 20,000 models in your collection. What have we started here?

I tried many kinds of plates and the printed ones are good, but have to be cut out very exactly - not like these

Funny...

Accurate plates would be great! Maine has never had blue with white except for State police cars.

Ralph,These are 1/24th and 125th.I have 1/43
