Jeff,

Let me know what you need. If I can do it, I will throw it in with the mine plow.

Echelon Fine Decals makes some great modern/OIF sets. Check them out here: Echelon decals

Making your own isn't taht dificult either, especially modern, black bumper #s.

Check out this recent thread on decal making.

I have a similar issue: I need some custom decals to represent white stencils on a dark base. I haven't found a way to do them myself as my printer doesn't print white. Maybe if I could find a place that does custom stencils....

I usually purchase Microscale waterslide decal sheets if I need custom numbering and lettering. Several different colours, fonts and sizes are available.

It is slightly more time consuming since you have to place one letter/digit at a time, but it works very well.

The bumber codes and vehicle name on this model were created with Microscale lettering:



Cheers,
Sven
