av8iimech Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) Hi all, I have been waiting a very long time to be able to finally post this but here it is. I am very happy to announce the creation of Impact Decals! We finally got our website (which still needs a little tweeking) up and running. There you can find more information as to "who we are" and how Impact came to be. I am very excited to show you a preview of our first sheet which is now available for pre-order. I would like to thank you all for you inspiration. Especially those of you who are also aspiring to make this hobby more enjoyable by providing exceptional aftermarket goodies! We only hope that our products and services will meet the needs, wants, and expectations of all of our fellow modellers.

parche Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Welcome to the rodeo. Best of luck. I really like the idea of a squadron history style arrangement that you mention on your site. Do you intend to stick in the Marine area, or will your topics wander about everywhere? Now where is my Intruder buried in the stash? Cheers, and again best of luck, Dave PS Change the address in your sig to a link and guys can jump right too it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 if only the kit was that easy to get... That's what I was thinking too, but those are very nice markings. Hopefully the kit will be rereleased again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fox One Decals Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Kevin, Congrats on your first product, I know you've been working on this for a long time and I wish you all the best! Oh and we keep the keys to the magic references locker in the rumpus room at the Headquarters for the Anti-1/72nd Scale Cabal. Oops maybe I shouldn't have said that. By the way, the new guy has to bring beer to the next meeting. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ravensfan6711 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 (edited) What's the deal with people criticizing cottage industry companies that don't produce exactly what they want? Most of these companies are started by hobbyists because of a perceived lack of desired subject matter on the market. It is unbelievable that someone would attempt to steal the enthusiasm surrounding the creation of a new company simply because the first product announced isn't in 1/72. I think it is outstanding that we now have so many upstart companies that are tackling subject matter that may have been neglected by other firms previously. Just in the last month we've seen 2 new decal companies come on to the scene. I remember the dark ages when you basically had two choices for decal options; either use the decals that came with the kit or use basically one company's questionably researched aftermarket decals. We now have several guys out there producing a wide variety of high quality well researched decals. That is a good thing. For the people that don't see the subject matter or scale that you are looking for why not consider starting your own company and produce what you'd like to see? Good luck.

It seems like every decal maker on here who post something about new sheets or certain squadron that may be done J.C. Bahr always has something negative to say. Maybe the Mod's can have a talk with him. This is really getting annoying, and childish. I am sorry we can't please you , your Royal Highness. By the way congrats guy's!!
