Daedalus72 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 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 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus72 Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) There was once a SAMI special production with four sheets. It included "Royal Navy" and "Marines" and "Command" titles, if memory serves me well. FErnando EDIT: they were also White or Black! Es tut mir leid.

Are you sure they had a black outline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus72 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 The photo of the Ark Royal cab referred to is the colour scheme which I want to model, I seem to remember that during basic training in 1979, the recently retired HAS1s all had black outlines to the titles and serials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wafu Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 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! https://hiveminer.com/Tags/predannack%2Cwestland/Recent Cant help with the decals other than maybe print your own? Hope it helps.
