Neil.C Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Had a search around but can't find the origin of these very large decals for a DC-3 I found them in an old kit I bought at the weekend. I was going to post them on the sales corner but would like to be able to describe them properly Anyone know?

Nigel Bunker Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Google is your friend. Type DC-3 G-AJIC and you will see they are for a 1/72 BEA DC-3. The big ones go on the wings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 05031 - bottom right hand corner - is the code for the Airfix repop of the Italiari Dak which had BEA decals 1/72 scale 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil.C Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thanks Gents! I did have a google but the Airfix kit came up and I thought the decals looked much too big. Didn't realise they were for the wings! Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Obviously someone was planning on doing a beautiful civil job on the Italieri DC3 kit, @Neil.C You still got them? That era of BEA is so stylish! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 If I recall rightly, the Airfix issue of the Dak by Italeri also had RCAF decals as an option. The BEA one was in over all bare metal finish for the decals you have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
