Unfortunately, I will no longer be accepting orders
         for ALPS-printed waterslide decals.  The last of my
         four ALPS printers is showing signs of imminent
         failure and my stock of consumables is nearly
         exhausted. With the printer behaving the way it is, I
         simply can't risk spending $1,500 on a restocking
         order of inks and paper.

         With a catalogue that topped out at 675 decal sets
         covering, 137 aircraft types, CanMilAir Decals
         processed 4,000 orders and sold over 11,000 decal
         sets, in 54 different scales (from 1:700 to 1:1 scale),
         to a total of 2,120 customers from 40 countries over
         a 13 year span.  I would like to take a moment to give
         my thanks to those 2,120 customers who made
         CanMilAir Decals such a huge success. Their              1/48 D.H. Mosquito Bomber Plastic Model Kit
         continued patronage proved that there is indeed a        Product ID: 80-3923
