Xtradecal issues.

[DominikS]

Hi Folks

I've recently bought Xtradecals's Spitfire Mk.VIII in 48th and I noticed an error. If you look at QJ-D Spitfire there is a squadron badge on the fuel cover wheras there should be the WDAF badge (which is clearly visible on every photo of this plane. The same error occured on Eagle Strike set with QJ-F. I don't know what photos were the people designing those sets looking at while creating decals. So far the only correct badge we can find on Barracuda Cals. I think that those people shoul be more careful - and everyony who bought latest Xtradecal Spitfire VIII set should received correction set.

The other issue is less serious. Today I've noticed that they are going to release Spitfire Mk.V part 2 in 48th. Was there part 1? I can't recollect although I have been checking Hannats web reguraly. Nevertheless I can't wait to see what painting schemes there are going to be.

Being in the bad mood this Monday morning...as usual

Cheers

Probably

Xtradecal X 48-093 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vb.

Don't be so frustrated by mistakes done by producers of decals. Sometimes it takes several trials by several producers to get it right). Just the old rule: Work on the basis of Photos.

Thanks for info. I'll try to get it, although I can't find it on the Hannants web.

As for mistakes I wouldn't be so frustrated if I could design such things myself. Unfortunately I'm not so gifted and I have to rely on producers of decals.

Sitting this morning and checking for Xtradecal news I've found something very strange. They've just showed pics of their "new" set X72187 which is actually old X72130 with only one extra scheme. Apart of this sole "news" it's the old set. Something's strange in here. According to previous info it was supposed to be Spitfire Mk.V Part 2 which isn't.

I have this strange feeleing that they are playing the prank on us which is a pity because generally they have nice stuff.
