[Radpoe Spitfire]

Hi does anyone know if 1/24 scale decals have been done for GR3 Harriers used during the Falklands war please?

Many thanks Adrian

I'm sure one of the Airfix boxing would have had some in, Airfix will sell you them if you email them. In reality you only need the serial numbers, as other decals are common. There are generic number sheets available from plenty of places, try Hannants. They might not be 1/24 but 1/24 is twice 1/48 so if you need 8" serials is 1/24 that's 16" in 1/48!

Personally in 1/24 I'd mask and paint things like roundels.

Thanks Phil,

Most of the kit decals I can adapt, it's the 2 digit number of the fin I need.

Shall go down the Hannants path I think.

Cheers Adrian

I believe the 2 digit codes were painted out for the war.and that any set of war decals will not have them

No, the fin codes were most certainly retained, these were in red. When I built mine...XV778 / Red 16, some 12 years ago now..I used white generic codes overpainted in red, note also that the codes were repeated on the outrigger legs in yellow.
