David M Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I am new to this WWI lark and about to attack my first: a 1/32 Roden DIII in Udet's colours, having always wanted one since it was illustrated on the back of an Eagle issue a very long time ago. Web reviews are a little confusing: some like the kit decals some don't. Hence any and all advice for the lozenge fabric will be much appreciated. HGW decals seem to be the go...but which of their many 1/32 5 colour offerings is appropriate? Or are there better alternatives? Thanks and regards, David M Sydney, Straya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David M Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Many thanks Pin. Given their brief use I assume unfaded pattern for a DIII? Apart from the painting of an underlayer is there any difference between the two versions (transparent verses full colour)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm not an expert here, I suggest you write an e-mail to Richard, the address can be found somewhere on the Aviattik web page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I would second Aviattic. Just make sure you follow their instructions. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Thanks Ian. I am about to place an order with Aviattic and will follow your advice, break the habit of a lifetime, and follow their instructions. David M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Cornes Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I also have a similar question about replacement decals and have e-mailed Richard but I wonder if the TechMod decals might be okay? The reviews that panned the Roden decals used Techmod instead but I've heard that Techmod can also splinter badly? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo Aero Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I've used the Techmod lozenge decals (in 1/48). Had no problem with splintering, but don't like their color accuracy. +1 for Aviattic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Cornes Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 +1 for me to! I was talking to Richard at the weekend, boy does that man know his stuff! I came away with his decals for Voss's triplane and now, based on his reply earlier today, I've bought ATT32106, 107 and 072 to use on this. Not exactly cheap but I hope to get more than one aeroplane out of them and cheaper than waiting until 1st January, when the price goes up by 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
