New Irish Air Corps decals with some of those subjects is currently in the works. I'll keep you posted.

A couple of photos of the Vickers Vespa can be found at https://www.militaryarchives.ie/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=8&page=3 Apart from the tail unit there is very little similarity between a Vickers Vildebeest and a Vespa. It would be mainly a scratchbuild project using some parts from the Special Hobby Vildebeest. Cheers. Joe

Beautiful model Ray. Well done!

Hi Colin, 72topia has produced a resin Avro 631 in 1/72 scale. See https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=72topia Cheers Joe

Cross kitting the wings from a Special Hobby Anson I might give you what you need as regards an Anson XIX. I had started cutting out the vacform fuselage halves of the Aeroclub kit with a view to mating them with a substantial part of the Special Hobby Anson to get an Irish Air Corps Anson XIX. It would have been a lot of work. I'm really glad Valom has decided to release this kit!

Hi Steve, Drop me an email and I can supply you with Max4806 which has the decals for EI-ACE and was the basis for the repainted DC-3 in 2017. I am in the process of restarting Max Decals at the moment. Cheers, Joe

Great news on the S-61N. To add to CharlieGolf2009's comments above I agree the Puma/SuperPuma family is long overdue. In addition an AW-139 would be most welcome. Cheers, Joe

Beautiful model. Can I ask if the HAR 9 had the under fuselage recess for a torpedo? I know it's a rescue helicopter but were they converted form HAS 7s? I hope to do that conversion to a HAR.9 myself but I don't know about the under side. Specifically I want to build a HAR.9 as operated from HMS protector in the Antarctic. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joe

I would love to see decals for G-OSRA Oil Spill Response in both 1/144 and 1/72 scale https://www.airliners.net/photo/Oil-Spill-Response-T2-Aviation/Boeing-727-2S2F-Adv-RE-Super-27/6722891/L?qsp=eJwtjcEKAjEMRH9lydmLCB72pj%2BgB38gtIMW6zYkAS3L/ruxeHu8GWZWSm1xfPzWBTSTgTU9aEfCyi%2BjeaUn%2BrtpDqZW6mRSap0UJm0xRNOa%2BrlHmtlxSgniyH9/0Qz9RbA0Ru9xsg%2BAXgfT4Rg%2BF5PKYwPOpdK2fQH8RTOy

Matterhorn Circle do a very comprehensive decal sheet for Swiss TT Vampires See https://www.mc-one.ch/Documents/new/new-1.htm

An Auster would be most welcome but a DHC-2 Beaver in 1/48 scale would have higher international sales potential IMHO. I know Dora Wings have announced one but Airfix could go really do well with it. It was used by dozens of countries with a huge variety of colour schemes both civil and military. It would fit with the Auster polar exploration theme as it was used by Australia, New Zealand Japan and Chile in Antarctica. Regards, Joe

Hi Folks, Just wondering what the under fuselage pod is for on the Hawk T.2. It's not smoke or a gun as per the Hawk T.1. Is it avionics or fuel? Just curious. Regards, Joe

Beautiful work there! I have an interest in Antarctic aviation and would like to model a few of the key aircraft used down through the years. Was that the MPM kit and where did you get the decals from? Did you make them yourself? Ignore the above! Just found your work in progress thread. Excellent work. Cheers, Joemax

I'm looking forward to this and the CN.235 whenever they get produced. The Irish Air Corps has tow CN.295's due for delivery next year to replace two CN.235 which have very high hours on the airframes. Joe

Looking at the window spacing on the two fuselages I think it might be easier all round to make the cut at the back end of the fuselage rather than at the front. The long fuselage has the extra length in front of the wing and regular window spacings. The short fuselage 1A has the front window spaced between where the two windows would be on the 1B making it a bit more complicated to convert the front end. Thanks for your kind comments on my decals. I hope to do a sheet on the Viking but will need more evidence as to the colours used on the cheatline and lettering. Cheers, Joe
