Hi Martin,
I see these are "due soon" so maybe in time to save? I appreciate that this scheme was short lived for reasons Im sure you are aware of and that images are few and far between, but I'm pretty confident that 428 was coded CC and not OC - its the way they have linked the CC's together that may suggest CO.
That aside sheet looks great, on my list
Good call out. Unsure how that one has slipped through the net and in time to correct. Thank you. Please drop me a PM so that I can sort your reward out

Excellent! Any chance of a stencil sheet to go with it?
I've the artwork nearly completed for a Royal Navy F-4 stencil decal sheet. I also have the fullsize ref material for RAF camo and overall grey stencils so....it's a possibility.

Without a doubt the Willys Jeep was a true workhorse for the allied armies of World War II seeing service in most theatres of the conflict.
The origin of the Jeep vehicle dates back to the early 1940s, when U.S. Forces ordered the Willys-Overland and Bantam companies to design and produce prototypes of a small sized multi-purpose 4-wheel drive vehicle. By July 1941 the War Department had opted to standardise the design and chose Willys-Overland to be the sole supplier. However, Willys-Overland could not keep up with production demand and Ford was contracted to also produce the vehicle. The Ford vehicle was designated GPW, with the "W" referring to the "Willys" licensed design. License production was also undertaken in France, the Hotchkiss M201. It was the standard light transport vehicle of the French Army from shortly after WW2 until the 1980s; remaining little changed from its initial counterpart.
RAM Models has photographed in full detail both a Ford built GPW and a Hotchkiss M201. 150 high quality images cover all areas of this vehicle type which will allow the modeller to make their next scale project as accurate as possible.

The NSU HK101 SdKfz 2 Kettenkrad was originally designed as a lightweight artillery tractor for German airborne forces. A total of 8,345 were constructed with most seeing service on the Eastern Front. Here they would be used to lay communications cables, pull heavy loads and carry soldiers through deep Russian mud. Later in the war, Kettenkrads would be used as runway tugs for aircraft including the Me 262 fighter. It would also see use both in North Africa and Western Europe.
The featured Kettenkrad was fully restored by Beech Restorations. Photographed in full detail as a restored machine by RAM Models, we have kindly been given use of photographs taken by the owner whilst the vehicle underwent restoration. 346 high quality images will allow modellers to make their next scale project as accurate as possible.

The T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified naval variant of the BAE Systems Hawk.
In service with the United States Navy it fulfils the intermediate and advanced elements of the Navy’s pilot and tactical strike missions within their pilot training programmes. As the Hawk had not been designed to be carrier capable the airframe needed numerous modifications. Visually the most noticeable modifications are the more robust and wider landing gear the addition of an arresting hook and air brakes mounted on either side of the rear fuselage.
RAM Models has photographed the T-45C Goshawk in unique detail both internally and externally. With 415 high quality images this product will allow modellers to make their next scale project as accurate as possible.

The Douglas DC-3 was an aircraft that truly revolutionised air transport and is without doubt one of the most significant aircraft ever made.
Designed as a civil airliner the all metal monoplane with its retractable undercarriage and long range was a revelation making air travel not only comfortable and reliable but also profitable for the operator. The DC-3 also found a role with the military. Acquiring the designation C-47 and names such as Dakota, Skytrain, Gooney Bird and Spooky the aircraft proved adept at all that it was asked to do. Whether it was towing gliders, dropping parachutists or carrying freight the type won the hearts and minds of aircrew and public alike.
Today hundreds of DC-3/C-47s are still in use in many parts of the world earning their keep by carrying passengers or cargo, indeed there is an old adage ‘the only aeroplane that can replace a DC-3 is another DC-3’.
RAM Models has photographed G-AMPY and G-ANAF in great detail. Featuring 517 high quality images this product will allow modellers to make their next scale project as accurate as possible.

The De Havilland Venom was a British post war single-engine jet aircraft. Developed from the Vampire it was expected only to be a stop-gap before the arrival into RAF service of the Swift and Hunter.
In the event the Venom would serve more widely and remain in service much longer than originally anticipated. The Venom was successfully exported to a number of nations around the world and was also built under licence in Switzerland.
RAM Models have photographed in great detail three different De Havilland Venoms. Covering 502 images this product will allow the modeller to make their scale project as accurate as possible.

The Vampire T.11 was a private venture by De Havilland, the company considering it a logical step to offer a trainer version. At that time the Vampire was in service with a number of different countries. Modified from the Night Fighter variant of the Vampire, the T.11 trainer would eventually see over 3000 RAF pilots become qualified, before it was replaced by the Folland Gnat.
RAM Models presents a set of 326 high quality-images. We have photographed in full detail Vampire T11 XK590 a fully complete machine and also XD626 an airframe in much need of restoration. Each walkaround gives the modeller a unique insight into the design and construction of the type.

The historic twin engined De Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide is an aircraft type that introduced a generation to aviation.
The prototype DH.89 first took to the skies in 1934; designed as a faster and more comfortable successor to the DH.84 Dragon. The Rapide was in effect a scaled down version of the company’s earlier four engined DH.86 Express. With a production run of 205 prior to the war many of these planes would be impressed into military service known as the Dominie. After the war the type would become the backbone of many young airlines around the world.
With over 313 detailed pictures taken by RAM Models of DH-89A G-AGTM, internally and externally, the modeller will be able to make their next scale project as accurate as possible.

In the early 1950s the RAF issued a requirement for a new dedicated jet training aircraft. Hunting Percival used their successful Alvis Leonides, radial-engined Piston Provost as a starting point. Utilising a Armstrong Siddeley Viper jet engine, ejection seats and a number of airframe revisions including a retractable tricycle undercarriage. The Jet Provost was born.
The RAF retired the Jet Provost from the flying training role in 1993 after a career spanning more than 35 years. Today many examples of the Jet Provost remain airworthy around the world having found a new lease of life in private hands.
RAM Models has photographed the T5A variant in great detail. Numbering 375 high quality images this product will allow modellers to make their next scale project as accurate as possible.

The Percival Prentice was designed in 1944 to meet Air Ministry Specification T.22/43 for a basic trainer to replace the Tiger Moth. Making its first flight on 31st March 1946 deliveries to the Central Flying School began in 1947 and to the RAF College and other Flying Training Schools in 1948. The Prentice served until 1955 when it was replaced by the Percival Provost.

The Percival Proctor was developed from the pre-war Vega Gull in response to Air Ministry Specification 20/38 for a radio trainer and communication aircraft. The prototype first flew in 1939 and was selected for service with both the RAF and Royal Navy.
G-AIKU is a Proctor 5 and was built in 1948, a total of 150 of this version were built. Although mainly aimed at private owners four examples were supplied to the RAF for use by air attachés.
At the time our photographs were taken G-AKIU was awaiting its first post restoration test flight. Operated by Classic Flight the aircraft is painted to represent an aircraft used by the British Embassy in Washington DC. RAM Models has photographed Proctor G-AKIU both internally & externally. With 451 high quality images this product will allow the modeller to make their next scale project as accurate as possible.

Pleased to announce that the decal sheet arrived from the printers over the weekend and is now available for purchase from http://www.rammodels.co.uk

Nice one Martin. I've long wanted to build a run of 1/144 Concordes in some of the airlines schemes they should have worn.
When to expect the Pan Am sheet to be available?
Have you thought of FedEx Concorde decals? I understand they came pretty close to buying a few in the late 70s to carry very express parcels!
Apologies for not noticing this reply sooner.
There will be other Concorde "what if" sheets but at present I only intend to stick to operators that placed orders for the type. If they sell...........I may venture a little further into what iffery land.
-
A nice surprise to see a thread pop up re the DC-6. I'm presently finishing the artwork on four sheets we are releasing for the type.
Interesting to see each of the fuselages lined up together, something I've not seen someone take the time to do before.
-
Now in stock and ready for immediate dispatch.
The first of our What If decals featuring the much missed Concorde. Pan Am airlines placed an order on 3rd June 1963 with an option for a further two aircraft placed shortly after. By 1973 though Pan Am had cancelled the order.
Our decal sheet features two options. The first is based on Pan Am's very own Concorde advertising material, the second is the classic "bill board" scheme.

Glad they landed safely & your not been a pain at all.
Your spot on in your comments. I failed to change the photobucket link for the forum imagery.
The names were on the pre-production artwork, in fact it took a fair amount of time to locate a good image which clearly showed the full list of names (the text on the full-size is now worn away in places). I've not got the info to hand but we were told that the names were only added once the aircraft had left service. Sadly it wasn't feasible to reproduce the names in the quality we wanted and after speaking to the printers we opted to remove it. The remainder of the sheet is the same as above though.
Hope you like the sheet

I visited the Comet Racer project at Egginton last year. A lovely group of people and fascinating to see the aircraft under restoration and listen to them talking about their project. Well worth a visit if you can.
