Manic Modeller Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hi Everyone, I am after a really big favour from someone. I have started decaling this kit with the decals supplied in the kit. Having placed the majority of the decals I have ruined the rest of the sheet. I am aware that I can purchase after market sets but want to complete it with the markings I have. I am not usually an aircraft modeller so don't have loads of spare decals that I can scrounge from. I have contacted Airfix but they cannot help me. If anyone has a set that they don't need I would be most grateful if we could do some sort of deal. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Sorry that I can't help in person - all my Airfix Stukas are the previous 1/48 issue - but I am surprised Airfix folk have not sorted you out, they are usually quite keen with replacement decals. Have they really run out of stock so soon? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawzer Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I "think" i have the luftwaffe markings from the old airfix kit if they'd be any use? No (well in all fairness there weren't many to start with) stencils. if you think it would help i'll have a look for them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilh Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 You say you have already placed the majority of the decals? Be easier if you specify which ones you need to finish the kit. If Generic myself or plenty of others can probably help you out. If specific to the kit, again myself or someone else might be able to help, but it depends which decals you need. I'm not planning to use all the kit decals on mine as I have an aftermarket set but may need some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fogey Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm surprised Airfix couldn't help. I managed to mess up some of the decals on a 1/48 109 and they replaced them free of charge, and only last week they replaced a complete missing sprue from the 1/48 Mosquito PR.XVI again, free of charge.

Old Fogey Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I assume it was one complete sprue as the following parts were missing ... 131 - upper wing 132 - upper wing 133 - nacelle half 134 - nacelle half 135 - nacelle half 136 - nacelle half 137 - nacelle top 138 - nacelle top 147 - drop tank half 148 - drop tank half 149 - drop tank half 150 - drop tank half 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Modeller Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thank you all for your input The actual decals I am missing are #26 T6 from the fuselage side and #21 Large cross from the underside of the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely need the Airfix T6 - to get a decent match to the other side - but a set of generic Balkenkrauz from Hannants or similar will provide all the crosses you may ever need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
