"Confound and Destroy" by Streetly and "Aircraft of 100 Group" by Hale have been niggling away at me to attempt some converted B17/24s for absolutely ages and now this is sprung on me!!?? These look like must have decal sheets for me as I have been working my way up to starting the Viermots in my stash.

Now all I have to do is try to understand the various marks of B24 and all of different side gunner window positions/tail turret variations/cockpit glazing/forward armament on the B17s and then go and buy a huge pile of the appropriate kits....my credit card just started crying and I can see SWMBO looking at me wondering where this manic grin just came from!

Is there any chance that some of the 100 group B-17F decals could be scaled up to 32nd for the HK release?

Cheers

Graham

I glanced at the 1/32 HK B-17G kit box in my stash today.....and my thought was how cool would that look in RAF 100 Group Fortress III colours

Bugger, Hannants have sold our of the one I really wanted, the 100 grp one & at only 200 sheets of each, I wouldn't imagine there'll be a restock. Sometimes that week between hobby acct top ups seems sooooo long. :(

He who hesitates is lost... ...being an avid enthusiast of 100 Group and its work I was worried theses decals might be released and sell out whilst I was on holiday, I was the victim of very flakey interweb connections and wasn't really able to order whilst I was away.

Fortunately they hadn't been released by the time I returned so I ordered them right away - I'm glad I did!

Never fear Steve,

A little bit of Czech translation and a valid credit card might put a smile on your dial! 😀

Hi Dave,thanks for those, my google fu obviously isn't up to scratch compared to yours. I've hopefully :unsure: put in an order with Avax-model, I couldn't see any method of using a card or paypal with arturmodel, they appeared to be local only. We'll wait & see what eventuates, I'm mainly hanging out for the ASH Mosquito decals, I've got a paragon conversion for this but several of the others appeal the SEAC Halifax being high up there.

Steve,

Glad the link was of use, and hopefully it will be a pleasant experience transaction wise.

So are these decals on a limited run basis? I've recently purchased a number of DK's RAAF decal sheets and it would appear that these are readily available at most good outlets.

Cheers (and I better get my set soon I suppose).. Dave.

A lot of the RAAF ones are showing sold out in some outlets. On the DK website, they say they are limited to 200 sheets of each & some of them are showing sold out on the website. There were about 4-5 I'd have liked, but a couple I was really keen on the 100 grp one being one. Fingers crossed.

Although I've checked DK's website on many ocasions, I've never read the fine print about the 200 limited run.... but I have now!!.

I might have to follow you down the Avax-model link or just wait and see if some local Aussie stockists may still be waiting for their 100 group stock to arrive.

Cheers.. Dave.

Blackbird do some decal sheets for some of their conversion, for example there is a Mosquito sheet which has a scheme for the Higball Mosquito of 618 sqn conversion that they do. It also has a scheme on it for a Mosquito NF.XV which they may or may not do/have done, no one will tell me. :( They look pretty nice being print by Fantasy Print shop as I recall.

Franta,

Can I be the first to welcome you to Britmodeller.

It appears that quite a few of us (especially RAAF fans) owe you a huge thank-you for offering these excellent decal sheets for sale.

I look forward to seeing and hearing any news about DK decals in the near future.

Kind regards.. Dave.

Hello Rabbit Leader,

thank you for the encouraging words. I´m working on news, gradually they can be viewed on my website. For all: if you have any wishes for decals for aircraft RAF and Commonwealth - send me documentation, I´ll try to gradually add to the sheets.

Cheers Franta:)
