robstopper Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I fancy building a version of MJ755 which Biggin Hill restored in 2019 and was the subject of the More4 series last autumn. I've found the right 1/48 LFIXc kit, and can get the lettering for the squadron codes and serial number, but cannot find appropriate roundels! Tigerhead do a decal set which would do the trick, but its out of stock anywhere I look. Are there any other decal sets, even from non-Spitfire aircraft, which would give me the right roundels and tail flashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 LM decals do a Greek Spitfire set: I've dealt with them several times and recommend. Home (lmdecals.gr) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robstopper Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Thanks for that Graham. The mk.v decals they do should still be the same as a mk.ix. They're ok with posting to the UK in your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 No problem with posting: I did make a mistake with one order so if anyone wants Greek Huey or CL415 sets, get in touch! Not their fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robstopper Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 I looked at the LM decals, and they would work, but paying £17 to get just 8 decals is crazy. I have a set of the Tigerhead ones on back order with Hannants, but don't know when they may be in stock. So, i may try using some Montex masks instead, and paint them myself. They do sets for the correct size Type A roundels and fin flashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
