I don’t know why they don’t do laser 1/18 stickers as I have found 2.8 injection and the S model that are the water airfix type

Cheers Andrew .
Not sure what precisely transparency paper is, but you can buy waterslide transfer printer paper. I've used it before and it works really well. As mentioned above though you might need a laser printer to get it detailed enough.

*OR* you could take the decals off your actual capri? :lol:

Yeah, I got it off ebay. You print on it, then add a few coats of lacquer, wait for it to dry, then just use it like regular waterslide transfers. Very pleased with the results; considering I'm impatient and cack handed it came out great!
