Col. Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Been looking around without any results for a set of decals covering the Swedish Hunter J-34 in 72nd scale. Anyone know of a set? Alas I've nothing in the spare decal box that will cover either national insignia or unit badges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 There is 1/48 sheet. http://www.rebell.com/svenskt/decals-masks/j34-hunter.html Maybe you can scan it and then reprint it to 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrope Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'd like a 1/72 sheet as well. Got a Revell Hunter and Freightdog F.4 conversion for this very task. Shame there's nothing readily available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see that one and was hoping they had done it in 72nd as well but that doesn't seem to be the case I think that would be a breach of copyright, and illegal. Selwyn To say nothing of being well beyond my abilities. I'd like a 1/72 sheet as well. Got a Revell Hunter and Freightdog F.4 conversion for this very task. Shame there's nothing readily available It is a pity Chris as the Swedish birds were always very pleasing to my eye. The single green upper surfaces helped display the types nice lines with the triple crown roundels adding a splash of colour. Seems strange that, for an aircraft which had been used by so many different nations, there isn't much variety of overseas decal options around.

cvrle Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Flying Colors Aerodecals 72-103, the sheet covers J-26 (Mustang), J-34 (Hunter) and the Tp-24 (Do-24) As for where you can get them, maybe Hannants? Mine were bought in a shop in Stockholm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks for bringing that one to my attention cvrle. Unfortunately a search of Hannants and several other suppliers has drawn a blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hythe Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I have a set of Rebell decals in 1/72. I have a feeling I may have enough for two aircraft, in which case I could probably share. Will let you know when I return from Hong Kong. By the way, that Flying Colours set sounds curiously similar to what Rebell sent me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think that would be a breach of copyright, and illegal. Selwyn This is good comment and I think it's good question what we can do ourselves. I'm now talking strictly making copy for personal usage only. Similar situation is if I make resin copy of certain part and use it other model or make a vacu-canopy and I'm using part as a master. Maybe this is worth of own topic.

flarpen Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I may have to order one, thanks for that Your welcome and if you are thinking of doing one of the a/c in the acro hunters display team a new logo is available from Rebell Hobby. http://www.rebell.com/acro-hunters-nose-emblems-1-72.html?___store=eu&___from_store=international Although it's present on the flying colours sheet i suspect that this one is of better quality. /Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrope Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) I've ordered a set,. Grand total including shipping from Canada--£8.44. The J26 Mustang bit is going straight on a new tool Airfix Mustang Happy days Edited October 8, 2013 by chrisrope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The J26 Mustang bit is going straight on a new tool Airfix Mustang Happy days Thats great. A bit of causion though. The flying colours decals are getting rather old now so some careful handling may be required and even the use of liquid decal film. I've heard that in some cases of the 1/48 S 31 / J 26 sheets the decals have desintegrated in the water. /Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrope Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Cheers for the heads up. I did recently use their Mosquito sheet and it behaved itself. Here's hoping this one does the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Glad you got sorted with some Chris & that J-26 Mustang does look tempting as well. Thanks for the warning about the fragility of the decals Johan. Will keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may order some more decals from flightdecs in the future, they have a good selection of Swedish stuff thats hard to get hold of here. I may even start said Hunter and conversion, be a shame not to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 With one Hunter already underway for the Obsolete Kit GB I pulled a Revel kit from the stash and started to modify the jet pipe to suit last night Chris. Never was much good at resisting temptation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizball Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 My decals arrived from Flightdecs today and they are very good. I'll try an inconspicuous one to see if I need some decal film Chris I've used both The Tp2 and Mustang parts of the sheets recently and in my case, liquid decal film was absolutely necessary. I had one roundel fall apart so had to use spares, brushed the rest with liquid decal. They are incredibly thin, which is a good thing, and require a bit of patience and care. I skipped a lot of the J26 stencils because they are incredibly tiny! On a major plus side, those I put on look very realistic without a hint of visible film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
