Biggu Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hey guys, I am 'trying' to make some 1/48 scale helicopters, Bell 206, 205, and 212 as well as AS350, and I can cobble together some decals, but is there ANY decal guys who can or does make ANY civilian Helicopter company decals? I am putting this out to you great guys on this forum as it goes around the world....... I see ALL the military versions, but there are many civvie company's and fire fighting companies out there that are not represented................... so if there is someone out there who can or is willing to make some decals, I can supply a fair amount of information, I am just not into spending mega bucks on one or two sets... I will be happy to cover printing costs etc........ is there any interest out in this world for civilian helicopters? Talk to me ladies and gents Cheers Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Vastly under represented but there are a couple of options out there: Peddinghaus Decals Lima November Decals Whirlybird Models Draw Decal - Some interesting Bell UH-1s Although they are no longer in production, a US based manufacturer called Fireball Modelworks * also produced some very decals for some very interesting subjects. * Be very careful if you do a Google Search for "Fireball Modelworks" though Edited August 6, 2018 by Richard E 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly is but the problem is that there are so many different markings that any commercial decal manufacturer would have difficulty deciding what would sell for them. I for example would like a sheet for the Scottish Air Ambulance Service and Strathclyde Police/Police Scotland but how many others would buy such a sheet? Have a look in the traders section as I seem to remember somebody in there doing custom printing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggu Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Ok thanks, guys, maybe we need to start a SIG?? LOL I saw the Fireball sets, and they looked great, but as you say they are out of business, Scimitar, those are great ideas, and along with that, if one had CHC done, there are a mountain of options there, both Canadian and International, as Canadian Helicopters have an International division..... even some of the other Canadian companies, are in Australia fighting fires, even some sets could be cobbled together form generic sets, but there does seem a general lack of civvie schemes....Don't get me wrong, I like some of the military ones, but after many years they get a little bit old...... Why be careful bout the Fireball google search?? Does it take me to a place I'd rather not be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggu Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Thanks Richard, I sent Paul a request email.... I hope to hear from him..... do you have any idea of what a set of his decals may cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball are still in business but, unfortunately for the aircraft modelling fraternity, they have retired their range of aircraft products and decals and have replaced them with a range of 1/24 and 1/25 scale model car accessories. I've sent you a PM to answer your second question 16 minutes ago, Biggu said: Thanks Richard, I sent Paul a request email....

From memory it depends on the nature of the subject - i.e. size and number of colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wafu Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Try this guy, his range of civvy decals is good and he can re-scale to order. His decals are good, I’ve had no problems with Micro Sol and Set. http://www.heli-scale-quality.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
