vppelt68 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 when buying something from Denmark using google translator, better to unwrap the package without the one-with-danish-ancestry in the presence.

Now that you mention ‘a language thing’ I’m just wondering if I should resend my email in Danish? I’ll use google translate and see where this gets me. Failing that, I might take you up on your kind offer. I’ll keep you posted. Come to think of it, Mrs RL is from Danish stock, however in reality she’s more Australian than I am! Cheers and thanks.. Dave No problem Dave, as you will know from your wife, danes are friendly people (sort of) 😁 Let me know if I can help! Cheers Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 On 2/22/2020 at 2:03 AM, Rabbit Leader said: Ordering from Stoppel decals??? Now I'd like to build a Hasegawa 1/72 F-104 in the early Danish 'Grey' scheme and it would appear that Stoppel has a decal sheet which fits the bill nicely (072170). I have now sent them two emails (one week apart) with respect to a possible decal purchase, however have yet to receive a reply to either of my queries. Can I ask the members on here - Has anyone else had the same issue? Is there any member who lives close to the store that is happy to act as a possible purchasing agent (funds can be sent prior)? I know this sounds a little strange, however I'm unlikely to proceed with this build if I can't source the correct decals (IMO - the new Xtradecal sheet has inaccuracies, so not a suitable substitute). Cheers and regards.. Dave Hi Dave, I have just noticed they are on Facebook if that is any help? Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s now three emails I’ve sent, the last one even translated in Danish! I don’t have a personal FB account however Mrs RL has one. I’m sure she won’t mind me conversing with a foreign person in Denmark on her behalf! If that fails, so does the ‘one o four’ me thinks. Cheers..

Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Look what I got off evilbay! I won't be building them for this GB. However, I will be converting one into an early J35A for the Interceptors GB later this year. I will need to test out some paints for the blue/green camo scheme. I have an old Airfix Draken in The Stash which will be used up as a paint dummy. If time allows, I might build it properly as a nostalgia build in thois GB (while still experimenting with paint colours). 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich B Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hasegawa just released the 1/48 "Scandinavian Draken" kit with decals and parts for a Swedish S35E, a Danish RF-35 or a Finnish J35FS. I picked one up from Hobby Search. Cheers, Rich 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Note that the 1/48 Draken includes some (but not all!!!) parts for the Swedish recon bird, the Danish attack version. The Finnish one is the normal fighter version. In 1/72, there are no recon noses at all, so even if the kits are called the same, the content is very different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
