bigbadbadge Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Apologies if in the wrong area but both kits I have are interwar types. Please can anyone advise if the company is still going. I have a couple of their kits and one has very cracked decals (Seversky P35) and the other is missing decals (Gee Bee Z Super Sportster). I am wondering if they are still going and can sell replacement decal sheets? But couldn't find a direct contact. Thanks in advance Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Chris As far as I'm aware , Williams Brothers still exist , though under different ownership . It's also my understanding that S&M Models are the UK distributors , so it may be worth asking Mel Bromley at S&M if he can help you out .

bentwaters81tfw Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The new owners are mfgs of plastic goods. when they have surplus plastic from a job, they knock out the occasional run from one of their moulds. Yep, Mel's your man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Good news, I have located the Gee Bee Z decals. They had slipped out of one of the flap ends of the box and were under the wardrobe, so phew. The P35 decals I have been able to replace with a set from Hannants. Thanks for your assistance all.

Regards J-W Hi Jerzy No not yet, they look good but I have yet to start the kit yet. The Seversky P35 decals look very cracked and so I purchased a set of yellow wings decals from Hannants which look very nice. I have started the P35 but only to the point of cleaning up the engine parts which look good and rescribed the port outer wing Have you got any left to build ?

JWM Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I avoided using decals in fact (only instrument panels in cockpits) - the Northrop Gamma I made as 2D from Spanish Civil War, the Boeing 247 I did as RAF machine, the Martin B 10 as NEI bomber (+40 years ago!) and recently Douglas Cruiser I converted DT2 in Norwegian colours). Here they are The numbers from Douglas decals I tried to use for some other machine , but they do not leave the supporting paper even after a day in water (!), the others (for instrument panels) needed extra cover of varnish not to decay in water... Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Great models Jerzy they look fantastic. I particularly like the Boeing 247 and have been tempted myself to buy this kit. I see on the Facebook link that the company has been struggling unfortunately due to the Covid 19 situation which is unfortunate. I do hope that they can make it through okay.
