RMP2 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) So far all Ive found is a referemce to Model Alliances 48-138 for the Jag and Carpena 48.99 for a Hunter. Neither of which I can find available anywhere and neither of which Im sure I really need to pay out for given how few markings these aircraft had. So. Seeing as I have some decal paper (white and clear) is there anywhere that I can find high resolution photos/images that would help me get some thrown at the printer and a decent DIY result?

iainpeden Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I think one of the old Esci sheets of multiple nationalities' markings had some for the Omani airforce and the Airfix Strikemaster also. If you could get hold of them and enlarge on to a colour photocopier that might be another solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Cheers, Ill have a rummage. I am also looking for Jaguar underwing AIM-9 rails (no other choice than butchering the overwing offerings?) along with Hunter AIM-9 inboard wing pylons and rails, Ive seen finished models with them fitted, but no idea where they are purchased from or perhaps robbed from another kit?

Tiger331 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Understand your reluctance to purchase a full decal sheet for some small Omani emblems. Another option would be to post in the 'Wanted' Section for some remnants from the Zotz Decals 'Roundels of the World Part 5 - Middle East' issue (SP-005). This issue contains almost a full sheet of SOAF/RAFO roundels/shields and unless someone was doing an entire fleet of aircraft, I would imagine they will have spares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for that, Ive never heard of Zotz. Ill have a look for them as it wont be so bad if they cover a Hunter as well. Ive been helped out a good few more times than Ive helped others in the Wanted Section, so Im a little reluctant to go there just yet, guilt factor is kicking in.

Wow, that is a rather encompassing set, including some sanscript stuff too. Could be a plan as Id like some Middle Eastern Lightnings at some point. Many thanks for that.

Max Headroom Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 My Hannants searching skills are poor. No idea why they didnt show up for me. Thank you very much. Pleased to be of service. Just be wary of Colorado Decals. I had them for my French Mosquito and whilst they looked great, they were less than stellar in sticking to anything other than a flat surface!

RMP2 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 I suspect is was the "Colorado" that was lacking in my search. Cheers, experience info is good. I assume you hit them with Microsol/set etc or similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I do have Kleer somewhere but it's gone awol so I used Humbrol's equivalent. I might as well have used yoghurt....... Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hmm. Ive found Humbrol Gloss Cote to give better results than the floor polish. Funny how it works differently for different people, must be technique? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Got to say that Microset has saved my bottom with some silvering and settling in the (recent) past along with a hell of a lot pin pricking. Decals - a world of their own. Think Im overed for decals options now, thank you guys, how about these Sidewinder rails? Jag can be botched from the over wing parts, but how about the Hunter wing pylons and rails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I think it may be a scratch build jobby as it wasn't a Hawker option. This may or may not be relevant but Singapore also had a Sidewinder mod http://www.dstorm.eu/pictures/nose-arts/hunter/825_2.jpg Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thats one of the photos I nearly posted as an example. Ok, Maybe a spares box/scratch combo jobby is required. A dirty Hunter has to be the best option for such a pretty thing, I mean - pretty n dirty go well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMP2 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 A quick rummage through the stash threw up some dinky pylons and rails spare in the Airfix Red Arrow Hawk kit, pretty sure I can make those close enough for me on a Hunter. Looks to be 4 rails in there in fact, helpfull for Jags too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakub Cikhart Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi, you are out of luck re: Hunter pylons. The mods were done by Singaporeans. I tried to draw the pylon shape, I will try to find it and post it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
