Greetings Diego For that sentence alone you deserve every success. Stoppel decals are very nice but having just one or two on a sheet would be no issue with most people I think. Miliverse Decals have Singapore Hunters planned which I think the Airfix kit may accelerate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Diego My experience with Stoppel decals is that unless you already have an account, or somebody who has an account decides to help you out and include your wants with theirs (Thanks again Sleeper Service!), you can't create an account on the Stoppel web site to get them so you might as well make your own and not worry about what Stoppel will or will not do.

I'd almost forgotten about that issue but yes @Diego ordering Stoppel can be a challenge for many people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 2 hours ago, Diego said: Many thanks for this information! Indeed there are really interesting RDAF Hunters in classic camo as well as the green overall scheme with really cool squadron insignia begging to be done, so maybe it will be even possible to include them in this sheet. The sheet would then look like this: HD48029 & HD72059 Hawker Hunter F.4 / FGA.9 / FR.10 / T.66 - F.51 (F.4) Royal Danish AF with colorful unit insignia, - F.51 (F.4) Royal Danish AF in overall olive green scheme, - F.52 (F.4) Peruvian AF with colorful unit insignia, - FGA. 71 (FGA.9) Chilean AF in desert camouflage, - FGA. 71 (FGA.9) Chilean AF in ghost grey camouflage, - T.72 (T.66) Chilean AF in tree tone desert camouflage, - FGA 73 (FGA.9) Omani AF with experimental grey disruptive camouflage, - FR.10 Omani AF with grey camouflage and combat mission markings, - FGA.76 ( FGA.9) Somali AF in desert scheme and Soviet K-13 (AA-2 Atoll) AAMs. Anyway, I will keep you informed! Greetings Diego Release this sheet and I'll build at least 5 examples off it Diego I've already built but not fully finished a Peruvian Air Force F.52 in 72nd scale as I never found anyone able or willing to print me a decal of the colourful noseart badge found on the machine I wished to represent. If you're including that specific unit insignia on this sheet I'd quite happily purchase it for that alone. Although of course there's the added bonus of plenty other cool schemes for which I'll get full value from it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Peruvian air force, of course, the "14° escuadrón de caza" gamefowl badge will be included too. The only thing I am still not sure is if the badge has been applied on both fuselage sides...but I think it was, as I have seen a "ground training" device with the badge applied symmetrically on both sides of the cockpit...

Greetings Diego That was a question which perplexed me as well while researching the subject. Although I found some images of the subject they only ever showed the left side of the nose with badge in place but if you say to apply the badge on both sides that's what I will do This is the project as far as it got during the Lesser Built Air Forces GB Edited January 21, 2019 by Col.

Diego Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Having in mind the upcoming Bobcat Il-28 Beagle in 1/48th scale, we will upscale our popular Beagle sheets, as HD48035 and HD48036.

SleeperService Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 See that Nigerian Bird? I see a small Wars subject right there. Don't worry about the 'U' the markings will be very useful elsewhere if one isn't released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK GOH Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I like Hi-Decal for its interesting subjects and look forward to the upcoming decal sheet on the Hunters. Particularly of interests are the Peruvian (with its gamefowl squadron badge) and Somali markings. I have a thread started on Hunter markings and was made known by Dennis @sloegin57that the Saudi Hunters, like all decal sheets and profiles in magazines released thus far, have incorrectly show roundels in all four positions. Instead, it adopted the USAF-style system as seen on the Strikemasters and Lightnings. Perhaps Hi-Decal can consider to include the correct Saudi markings in a future decal sheet? Thanks for the the excellent range of decals. Edited April 27, 2019 by YK GOH typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suspect many have old kits with rubbish decals or no stencil data at all. Well, of course this could be done later. Many thanks for this suggestion On the new T-33 sheet there are indeed few stencils included, as - some aftermarket stencils sets are currently available, - only the UBAF and IIAF birds have "full" stencilling. - the 2 IRIAF T-33 got only minimal stencilling after repainting (included) - The Cuban T-33 was quickly repainted in camo scheme and has no stencils at all. This means, you will be able to build 3 aircraft from this set completely - for the two others the specific stencils that might not be included on a kit decal are provided - the other ones could be used from the GWH , Academy or Platz (Tanmodel), Sword and Hasegawa offerings.

Above is a link to a list with a little background. Don't know if they are still in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
