ROYAL NAVY TITLE DECALS

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know of a decal sheet which includes the white 'Royal Navy' titles  with a black outline as used on SAR Wessex?

The decals in the Italeri kit are plain white.

 

I have searched with no luck so far

 

Thanks

Hello Mike,

 

The best I could offer is try to locate the Sea King Model Alliance set, in this you'll find Royal Navy and the Rescue decals required for a Lee on Solent cab. 

 

You could try Whirlybird models 1/48 771 NAS decal set, I think it's 48008.

 

Hope this helps?

There was once a SAMI special production with four sheets. It included "Royal Navy" and "Marines" and "Command" titles, if memory serves me well.

EDIT: they were also White or Black! Es tut mir leid.

These are just white though, none with a black outline.

 

Are you sure they had a black outline?

Thats great, I was'nt aware of these sheets but I will try to track them down.

Its really annoying that Italeri have got the decals wrong in their Wessex kits as it tarnishes what are otherwise decent kits

I hope you are aware of the many issues of the Italeri Wessex kits, beginning with their truncated body shape and  the ridiculous wrong direction of rotation as modelled

 

I THINK I have seen black outlined ROYAL NAVY on the sides of some but I cant find any pictures to confirm and I have not ever seen black outlined serials

A bit late in replying to this thread, sorry about that.

 

The black outline was used with the dayglo paint scheme and with the red scheme, the Wessex being restored by the guys in Somerset has the later Culdrose 771 markings of white RN surrounded by black (XT761) I don't have a photo sharing account, not sure of the best one to use and I got bored reading the Computer buffs guide, if I did I'd post a few photos of 761.

 

Cheers the Woo.

Hi,

 

I found this link which has quite a few photos showing a VERY thin black outline on 512. Took me a while to find it though!

Cant help with the decals other than maybe print your own?

 

Hope it helps.
