goon Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hi Gang, I'm making a start on the Revell 1/700 HMS Invincible. It's a lovely kit (Dragon originally I believe) but I really don't like the raised detail on the flight deck. Does anyone know of any decals to replace them, or have any tips for a 1/700 ship novice for putting the markings on? Cheers, Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantGoodale Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 If they are just stripes, you could get some solid colour decal film and cut the strips to shape. The alternative would be to mask and paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa4ways Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Hi Gareth, If you check this website http://www.seaforces.org/marint/Royal-Navy/Aircraft-Carrier/R-05-HMS-Invincible.htm it'll give you loads of details of HMS Invincible, and when you're on the website, if you scroll well down, you'll find a complete plan of the flight deck, it also gives you 2 options of Invincible from either 1980 or just before she was scrapped in 2005 Hope it helps Edited December 1, 2020 by Papa4ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Hello Gareth, this is a copy of the formal plan of the flight deck during the carrier's first commission in 1981. The markings would have been the same for the deployment to the Falklands; however, the helo circles had been removed by then. This plan was held in HQ1 and depicted the fire and access points for any emergencies. A good modelling source is Phil Reeder's build on ModelWarships. HTH Mike Edited September 7, 2022 by bootneck corrected info on the helo circles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Mike, the circles had gone by the time of the Falklands but I can't say when they actually disappeared. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Fox Model Transfers, they have coach lining white strips and rounded corner decals. I used these for my mode of Invincible. https://fox-transfers.co.uk/general-alphabets-linings?colouralpha_lining=2699&p=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
