Gaps in your model collection?
Looking to build or repaint your first model but not sure where to start or if you should dare even attempt such a project?
Modelling is an incredible hobby, but we understand the patience and skill required isn't everyone's cup of tea. Some things in life are best left to the professionals, and luckily we work very closely with a number of them! Together we may be able to help with everything from 1/500 diecast repaints to 1/144 plastic and resin kit builds, to complete custom large scale desktop models! Feel free to reach out to any of our friends below with your requests for a quote any time. For the most efficient service and best price, don't forget to mention V1 Decals and include as much of the following information in your first email as possible:
-Your name
-Your country and zip/postal code (for shipping cost estimates)
-The model(s) you would like produced including the scale, quantity, and any other specific information such as registration numbers
-Photos of the subject to be modelled (either as attachments or URL links)
-If you would like to supply the model/kit to be built or repainted or if you would like one to be purchased for you.
-The decal set(s) you would like to use either from ourselves or any of our competitors.
-Any timeline or budget contraints
-Any other special requests details you feel may be relevant to the project.
Please note, the process of building and repainting custom models can be a very time consuming, and proportionally expensive project to underake. We recommend all prospective custom model clients be prepared to spend at least $50-$100 for fairly standard repainting services in addition to the costs of the model to be repainted, decals, and any shipping costs. Many simpler projects can be accomplished for less, but it is not uncommon for clients to invest $150 or more in a custom 1/400 diecast model or over $250+ for larger custom diecast models or kit builds. All prices are based on US Dollars.
Happy collecting!

For many years Zareh has been a leading supplier of 1/400 diecast models for collectors in Canada and around the world, and with the help of master-repainter Peter is well positioned to repaint all types of models while passing on significant savings to their customers through more efficient donor-model acquisition.
