Title: Looking for decals
Post by: GTX_Admin on July 07, 2012, 10:10:34 AM
Hi folks,

Does anyone know if you can get 1/48 decals so as to model one of the civilian Fw200s such as that shown below?

FRsin does that Condor in 1/144 Greg, it might be worth an email to them to see if they could do the sheet in another scale.

Will try that - good suggestion.

another option would be to obtain a set of the Revell 72 scale markings and print them onto decal paper in 48th. I did similar when i scanned then printed them in blue to make an Aero airline machine in 72 scale  8)

cheers, Joe

Hi Evan,

1/48th or 1/72nd works for me.  Size of the roundel may not really be that much of an issue since it is not a RLT subject I am trying to come up with.

Post by: elmayerle on December 23, 2012, 01:05:47 PM
Let me look through my decals (may take a while but this is a holiday period).  ISTR that I've got some in 1/48 but I need to check that before committing to anything.

Still digging, but I know I've got the 1963-1970 and 1970-1980 roundels in 1/72 from an Xtradecal set on International Hunters (also have 'em in 1/144).  I'm still checking to see what I have in 1/48.
Title: Re: Looking for decals
Post by: elmayerle on December 25, 2012, 02:09:41 AM
Okay, I've got a Cutting Edge Hunter sheet that has the 1963-1970 roundels in 1/48.  Which of the sets I have best suit your needs?

Hi Evan,

I think the 1:48th scale 1963-1970 roundels will be the best choice.  If memory serves me these roundels were not overly large to begin with so anything smaller would probably not be practical. 

Thanks again for helping out.  Had no clue RhAF markings would be such a challenge to source.

Greg, I do have some of those Afghan markings in 1/72 scale.

From what platform?
Title: Re: Looking for decals
Post by: deathjester on January 07, 2013, 08:47:32 AM
Don't know!  They were in a set sent to me by BdB...!  BTW, I can have a crack at making tne decals folk are after - just need a good quality pic to work from!
Title: Re: Looking for decals
Post by: GTX_Admin on January 07, 2013, 06:14:56 PM
Ok, what dimensions are they?
Title: Re: Looking for decals
Post by: Brian da Basher on January 07, 2013, 08:31:09 PM
They were generic 1/72 scale markings, Mr GTX. Just a shade smaller than 1 cm if memory serves.

Was that part of the big bag o' decals I sent to you a few years back?  I remember a lot of them were generic roundels from ESCI in 1:72nd scale and quite a diverse selection representing most every country three or four times over in some cases. 
Title: Re: Looking for decals
Post by: Frank3k on January 08, 2013, 02:58:06 AM
If those are old ESCI decals coat them in Future, Klear, etc. before use. Otherwise, you're going to have a bad time. The decals will disintegrate when placed in water; the clear coating will hold them together long enough to transfer. Actually, that's always good advice for decals of unknown pedigree/age.

Are you still after Rhodesian AF decals?

I could certainly use a few more roundels if you have them to spare. 

Thanks

I wouldn't mind picking up a few, either.

Well, you see, they are part of our African Nations Decal Set, so I can always grab that part of the set and print them. 

Also, I was planning on sitting down at the computer and creating a second set, devoted to African countries that no longer exist!  What do you think?

Sounds great.  Who would you include?
Title: Re: Looking for decals

Everyone seems keen on Rhodesian, so I'll start with that!  What else would you guys suggest?
Title: Re: Looking for decals
Post by: GTX_Admin on April 25, 2018, 06:05:05 AM
I suppose it depends on how far back you want to go (Imperial Egyptian roundel anyone? ;)).

One that you can get in some places but I would like to see more of is the old Ethiopian roundel as seen here:

(http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/1316/pics/244_2.jpg)

Biafra might be another.

Title: Re: Looking for decals
Post by: deathjester on April 25, 2018, 07:31:47 AM
Yes, that's kind of the thing I was thinking of - I'll look up a few more of those!  Cheers!

The Royal Egyptian Air Force might be another one:

Imagine these style markings on a F-16 or perhaps Eurofighter Typhoon today if the 1952 Revolution had not occurred or was unsuccessful.
Title: Re: Looking for decals
Post by: GTX_Admin on April 26, 2018, 03:00:48 AM
The old South African Roundel might also be one that has some interest though it would presumably already be available:
