Sea Harrier decals

[Shar2]

Does anyone do a decal sheet with 899sqn 50th anniversary scheme on it in 1/48th scale? Would also like to find a sheet with lo-viz schemes post 1982.

Cheers

Hi Dave, 899sqn's 50th anniversary scheme is actually included in the Airfix kit; regading the later Dark Sea Grey Schemes, there was a sheet from an Italian company - can't remember the name, but I have used it - not a great sheet it has plenty of errors, but some sections are very useable...

Cheers Bill. I must have older examples of the Airfix kit as those decals are not in the box. Oh well, have to buy some examples of the later kits.

I would be willing to trade my 50th Anniversary Airfix sheet with yours if your interested? What markings have you got?

Hi Dave,

If you have any accidents - heaven forend - with the set that's on its way to you let me know. I have several spare sets of those from umpteen FRS1s made in other schemes.

Cheers,

Nick

Thanks Nick. It'll be a while before I get to building a SHAR or two, as I'm busy building ships. But I have started getting the various AM bits and bobs together.

Ref the 50th anniversary scheme, I want to do this as I was at the celebrations and have some reasonable photos of the single and twin seaters that were there.

[Shar2]

Just want to thank Rich for helping me out with the required decals. Much appreciated.

I only noticed the post now that the decals were sorted... anyway the company was Skymodels from Rome. I'm 99% sure the are not around any more, however during their existance they produce sheets with an amazing number of options. Unfortunately the accuracy wasn't always great

I have the 1/72 harrier sheet too, and agree that there are plenty of errors. Yet I managed to use these decals on 3 old kits I revamped a couple of years ago, including a matchbox SHAR. And the spanish markings for the AV-8S look good... now I only have to scratchbbuild the GR.1 nose on my Italeri Gr.3 to use them....
