Well I'm so so so so so sorry that this issue has caused so much alarm and distress to so many people, may god strike me down for my sins. This issue is now resolved, everyone can move on with the lockdown-esque trauma as the decal sheet will look like what Troy has outlined. Such a shame for some of you that this sheet has not been sent to print yet so the ball you saw slowly trickling over the line and into the net was kicked away at the last millisecond. Ah well there's probably an Airfix kit coming soon that needs pulling to bits in the tried and tested British modeller way. No wonder I don't frequent these websites. Unreal! Oh and BTW I didn't copy any profile as my original art was drawn over 15yrs ago.

Ive added a LN F-35A option to the three new 1:72 Xtradecal Sheets covering the F-35 Family. I've achieved around 95% coverage of all squadrons from foreign to USN USMC and USAF. As for 48th you'll have to ask hannants whether they'll get me to upscale them. Jon

Hi. although I periodically post on here I cannot help as I am only hired/work freelance for Hannants and have no say on their working policies. Just a heads up and I hope you get your situation resolved soon. Jon

Hi Tony. I must admit this is a faux pas on my behalf and entirely my fault. I shall explain to Tony at Hannants and endeavour to have an addendum sheet printed for these upperwing roundels. I simply have no idea why I'd put that size of roundel on the sheet, I must have had my mind on other things. My apologies, Jon

Sent screenshots of Lasermonkey's, Stephen's, Edge's and Mr saunders ideas to Hannants Jon

I’ll pass this message onto Hannants to see if it’s a viable project. thanks Jon

Hi Julien. Had to come away from the site due to certain individuals who couldn't keep their council, did my head in! I'll regularly check up on this forum for new content questions and relay them back to Hannants. As I'm not on Hannants books per say I cannot have final say on certain things but I'll endeavour to help if I can. Jon PS If Troy can get in touch with me I need to clear a matter up with him also.

Done and due for release soon. Jon

Hi Tony. Guess what? A sheet has been done along with the plain Black stripe markings for the modern fleet on the same sheet. I have based the set on the Italeri kit but there are spare sections if there's any discrepancies. It will be sent to the printers shortly and should be available around Feb time. Yours Jon

Hi Andre. Sorry to hear of your issue. I'm just the freelance decal designer for Xtradecal so I personally can't act on this for you but I can/will notify Hannants direct in order for them to contact you via this message board to hopefully resolve this issue. Yours Jon

Hi all. Is a mint condition Frog 1:72 Supermarine S.6 Trail Blazers kit worth anything to collectors? Jon

The issues as AMB has pointed out have now been sorted and the printers are making the changes, thankyou. The brightness of the sheet here on BM (resulting in the very bright blue) is usually the result of posting up a CYMK image instead of converting it to RGB (which the web displays correctly) albeit I did post the image up as RGB so no idea whats going wrong your end. The decal and inst sheets are definitely correct with the colour shades. On my Mac monitor the colour is exactly as it should be, anyone else got this problem? Yours Jon

Hi All. Another new sheet close to the printers X72306 Hunting Percival Provost Collection. This may be scaled up to 1:48 but with obviously less subjects. Jon

1:48 DSG/DG/LAG RAF Phantom Stencils. Due to be printed Jon

Hi All. Nearing completion for the Mikr Mir kits. https://ibb.co/e3O37T https://ibb.co/mO3WYd https://ibb.co/cja0Ry https://ibb.co/msp26y Jon

Hi all. Has anyone got any scale plans for the Blackburn Beverley at all that they may be willing to share? TIA Jon

Am I correct in thinking the underwing codes were 24" high? Thanks Jon

Hi All. Has anyone got any scale drawings of the Lynx AH.9 and or Super Lynx Mk.100 at all? I'm really needing the upper and lower views really, there again a high res picture of both top and bottom in flight would be sufficient too I think! TIA Jon

These Cockerills have now been corrected on the sheets which have 43 Sqn birds on from decal sheet Pt2 onwards thanks to XV571. Nice talking to you last night 👌😊 Jon

Here is the artwork to go with the above. Jon

Vitor. Combat Decals "CD72-003 Libyan Spring Revolution 2011" has ZA542 from 31 Sqn during the Libyan Crisis 2011. Jon

Hi Pete. Yes that'll be great! As long as it has the Hemp airframes on that'll be perfect. Thanks Jon

Hi Mark. I never knew that, I've had a look thank you but it is the decal sheet I'm really after TBH Yours Jon

Hi All. Would someone be so kind to maybe scan at 600 or more dpi the latest Revell HP Victor decal sheet? Many thanks Jon

Hi All. Would the specially marked 228 OCU Phantom XV470 (Yellow ribbon on nose 'THE LAST FROM BIG C') have the toned down scarab (?) beetle motif on the fin? Would there have been a aircraft letter also? The only pic I have shows the front 2/3s of the airframe. Cheers Jon PS It appears that she paraded similar markings in 43 Sqn markings also!
