I can make the decals when I get home next week, if vB will share his vector art

Hi Bo,
 I have exported the vector logo to PDF. You should easily be able to trace in your vector program  of choice.
Attached to this post  ;)
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Bob

P.S. A resize will be required  :)

Bo, I'd like a set of decals in 1/32 when you get them made if possable. Thanks for your efforts. I'm sure there are a few people who would like these.

Hello,
I think some easy 3D print solutions could help here :

https://www.shapeways.com/creator/2dto3d#landing

just draw the Morane Saulnier logo with the correct size you need, send it to shapeways or other 3D online service. The best option is to extrude the logo by choosing the depth. Then at home cut it and sand it into the good thickness.
This could be helpful since there is no knowledge in 3D software needed here...

Duh, I forgot about this.

What is the finished diameter supposed to be?

Colors?

(Sorry, I have very little MS reference material )

I think a 1/32 MS logo is too small for Shapeways to model. I have already sent them some files to print in "ultra detail" polymer and, while the results are pretty good, they can not model some of the smaller details. Until better 3D printing technology becomes available (well... it is available righ now, but at astronomical prices...), the best solution for the MS logo would be photo etching.

Beto thanks for your feedback.
I have some airfoil to print with them ( my Bucker in progress - photos in my presentation ) and hope they will do the job.
Agree with you : the best way is probably PE.

The finished size is approx 5.25mm and the colour would be brass.

Thanks -- I see you already gave the size   :-[ 

brass on the inside as well? (somehow got the idea the inside was painted some color...)

The few that I have seen show the inside colour as a sky blue, this against the black engine cowl looks pretty good, this is the colour I used on my model. But I have also seen some reproductions done with a red background, so it is probably one of those questions that has no positive answer. I suppose the logo could be left as a clear background so the engine cowl colour would then become the background colour.

I didn't realize the emblem was brass colored with the inside the color of the cowling. That would be very tricky to produce with a home brew decal.

About the only solution I can offer is a black overlay to apply to a gold painted disc on the cowling. The black decal would simulate the 'negative space" of the logo -- the black cowling showing thru as it were.

Not a perfect solution but all that is really practical without being able to print white. The other solution available would be to print them on white film, but them two drawbacks appear-- the "brass color" will look very fake, and I am afraid a white circle surrounding the decal on the edges would be very difficult to avoid.

I am going to be making some decals for Bertl in the next week or so, so I will give solution a a shot, but no big promises yet
