exdraken Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hi all, finally got the brand new re-released set of decals for the Austrian Texan from IPMS Austria (maybe this re-release has something to do with this GB ) so I think I can start a thread with some reasonable chance of completing the model in time! incredients: as far as i understand it, this is the original Occidental sprues. in addition some Eduard PE that should help sprucing up the cockpit a bit, although also the plastic one look quite passable! Decals are from a limited re-release and can't be a lot more direct from the printer some inspirational pics here: http://www.gotech.at/t6g_texan.htm http://www.gotech.at/t6g_texan_4c-tc(c)gfl.jpg http://www.gotech.at/t6g_texan_4c-tj(c)gfl.jpg thanks for your interest, hope you stay tuned!

RidgeRunner Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hi Werner! Welcome to the GB. That is certainly a different set of markings. A great choice! Good luck! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Nice! I hoped we'd see one of these, I find the Austrian markings very attractive. As Martin says, welcome and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
