exdraken Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I guess you mean those.... every? operator nation but Australia I guess... http://www.lindenhillimports.com/lhd72028.htm http://www.lindenhillimports.com/lhd72029.htm and there were at least some from Southern Sky Models: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/253246-italeri-1284-c-27j-spartan Edited January 16, 2016 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 You should contact Ronin Graphics. They did a RAAF C-27 sheet, perhaps it's still available through them: https://www.facebook.com/Ronin-Graphics-Australia-570533299733906/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Cheers Fella`s, After you mentioned the Ronin Graphics sheet I found pictures of it on line and that is just the job but it looks as if it was only provided with a special boxing of the Italeri kit and not on its own! I`ve tried finding a website but to no avail and I`m not on Facebook so cannot get in touch either! I`ll try a few shops down under to see if it is available on its own.

Admiral Puff Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If you're prepared to wait, I'm sure that Peter Mahoney at Hawkeye will do a sheet eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks Admiral,.......I do hope so, looks like I`ll just have to wait and see. I did try the Hawkeye website as there was mention on Aussie Modeller that he was doing a sheet but it has either sold out or has not been done yet as it is not on the website! I do like the camouflage worn by the current RAAF C-130J & C-27J and would love to paint my C-27J in this scheme, to sit alongside my RAAF Caribou.

Cheers Tony you could try contracting them via ebay (if you have ebay) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-48-RAAF-Operation-OKRA-Super-Hornets-with-bomb-tally-/111869377561?hash=item1a0bef3c19:g:dYYAAOSwT6pVnPVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another very kind BM`er has sent me the e mail addy for Ronin so I`ve sent off an e mail. Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Tony, will be interested if you get a reply, I have sent messages before and received nothing in return Curiously it seems he only prints a decal once and once it is gone won't really do a re-run no matter how great the demand Like you, I won't join Facebook, but it seems that a lot of retailers are only doing that form of advertising these days, Hawkeye being one, all their new decals are not on their website, but are on their Facebook page, I guess us dinosaurs have been struck by the great meteorite of modern life. Some you can look at without being on Facebook, and Hawkeye is one, not sure about Ronin https://www.facebook.com/Hawkeyemodels the other thing is ask on AMI if someone would sell you one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stfmodels Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Steve Evans is Ronin Graphics & he does some really beautiful decals, including a 1/72 RAAF C-27J. It is also correct that he only does small batches & once they're gone, unless there's a re-print, there gone. Also, he sells his decals exclusively through his eBay store. You can also keep up to date with his decal releases either via Facebook or hie eBay shop. https://www.facebook.com/Ronin-Graphics-Australia-570533299733906/?fref=ts http://stores.ebay.com.au/roningraphicsaus?_rdc=1 Quick edit... If you look at Steve's Facebook page & scroll down to his post on 10th September 2015, you'll see the decals you're looking for.

tonyot Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Cheers Ken, I have ordered a set having received a heads up from Ronin that more were available! Thanks everybody for your kind help Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 A heads-up - if you want a Spartan kit, grab it now. Apparently it hasn't sold all that well, and Italeri won't be making any more (according to a furphy doing the rounds on AMI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Italeri won't be making any more Never releasing a re-issue of a perfectly good mould - that would be a first in kit company history. The excellent Hawkeye decals are available - contact Peter Mahoney via the Hawkeye web site and ask for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
