Phil Martins decal sheets were not the worlds best and when I was distributing the range I kept quite a few spare sheets handy. I'm not sure what the situation is now.

I'm not sure what the situation is now. Chris This is second hand from eBay, so not sure about the age of the kit. Is the problem that they fall apart when trying to remove them from the backing paper ? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris57 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That's correct, the main issue is with the blue cheat lines. Looking at the couple I have remaining the cheat lines are all cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris57 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Quite possibly. I'm not the best person to ask I would just throw my toys out of the pram until replacements arrived. The Belfast, Beverley & Argosy cheat lines are to narrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris57 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Not that I was aware of. The only other 1/72nd VC-10 was the one from Anigrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shatters Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 The goods news is that the vc-10 has arrived while swmbo was at work The bad news is that the seller can't find the instructions So can anyone scan a copy of the Magna vc-10 instructions for me ?

Phil You now have the (almost) perfect alibi. If the missus sees the kit you can claim: 'Oh, that one; I've had it so long I've gone and lost the instructions.'

Nigel Bunker Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 26 decals do a set for a VC10 C.1K (101 Sqn 90th Anniversary, grey aircraft) and I have a set of F-DCAL decals in the grey/white.blue stripe for use on my Amigrand VC10 when it eventually gets built so thererefore there must be other sets about - perhaps an advert in the wanted column might help?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Phil Note this kit has an engine nacelle missing. You would need to do a repro using one of the remaining three. hth cheers Chris Thinks! The Aviation Megastore might be the only source of a Belfast, I recall Radleigh obtained one from there. Edited April 7, 2017 by chris57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
