LF - Avia S-199 decals in 1/48th
mundster posted a topic in The Spares Box - add scale to your title
If anybody has any left over 48th S-199 decals, I'd be more than happy to trade for them. Especially looking for stencils, etc. for both Israeli or Czech. Many thanks! John -
Hey,
I was looking at your decal sheets for sale, trying to pick out some, then thought ... why don't I just buy them all? Would that be OK? How many are left and what would you like for them. MANY THANKS!

Kevin,
Please excuse the bother I put you to, but I'll take a pass. That would about 60 Canadian for me, and luck would have it, I just bought 5 new Leading Edge decals for the F-5 and Herc, so I got a bit tapped out. And after reviewing your sheets, I really only need the F-15 and F-16 sheets. Again, my apology for speaking too soon.
Many thanks!

Kevin,
Again, many thanks for the kind offer, and I mean no disrespect, but I really did blow my hobby budget for the month on those Canadian decals. And postage is always the big killer from the States. Your kind offer would cost me $50+, but 20 of that is postage. The CF-5 decals I bought cost me $2 postage. But, Thanks again!

Gents, A bit of a longshot I know, but I bought a Matchbox 1/72nd Brewster Buffalo at a local show and only now discovered that it is missing the front of the cowling piece. Don't you hate that? If anyone has a parts kit and a spare, I'd be grateful for the help, will pay postage and offer to help in kind. Thanks! all best John

Gents, If anyone has a copy of the instructions for Italeri's old 1/48th Lysander III ... which was also boxed by Testors and Hawk several times ... I'd be very grateful if you could snap some pictures of them and send them along to me. I got one missing the papers, and while not hard, they would help. Can repay in kind and karma. Thanks kindly, all best John

Many thanks to the generous sponsors! It makes a great GB even better. John

Let me second that ... great GB! I'm in awe of the fantastic Corsairs. Thanks, John

Well, it only took 3 months. One of the reasons I wanted to build this classic Testors Corsair (no details, terrible fit) is because I had these neat and very old MPC decals for a RNZAF Corsair. Well, they gave me double trouble. First, after I put them on and applied Micro-Sol they started to curl up on me. I spent ages tamping them down with much Future floor wax. But they settled, quite nicely. And, after a bit of research, I have learned that the RNZAF most probably didn't have red in their roundels. One guy online traces the error to an old Profile Publication, which MPC must have copi

What kind of friend would I be if I didn't build something for CorsairMan's build group? A 1/72nd Testors Corsair in all its glory ... better late than never!

Gents, Well, there is no excuse for me, I'm hopelessly mired in a rut. It all started when I had to have the pipes under my basement floor fixed. That meant cracking open the foundstion, which first meant a major clean up and reno of my model storage space (as the basement had become.) Then I had to prepare for Cangames, which is a local wargaming convention. This is my other hobby, and I ran a Napoleonic demo game. But, all is not lost. Well, for me it is. But my very good buddy Kevan has finished an excellent Corsair, and with your permission, I'd love to share it. Its the Hobbycraft 1

Now that is different. Cool tho. all best John

Got the fuselage together, but its going to take some gentle sanding to make the join look even. Looks like a bit of basement reno will be putting this back a bit. Not that there is a lot to glue! Well, at least this forced my to clean up my basement. I got some shelving units and picked up all my model kits from where they were stacked on the floor. Now one wall looks a freaking hobby store. I am both thrilled and ashamed. all best John

That is one awesome looking Harrier. The last thing an Argie Mirage saw in its rearview mirror! Great build! all best John

phantom, I have some really old Arrow Graphics decals, so I recently tested them using a Canadian flag decal. Worked just fine, really thin, fit on to the model perfectly with a swipe of MicroSol. About the only thing that concerned me was how thin they were, but handled carefully, no rips. all best John

Joe, Being a black and white photo, I have to agree with you. I'm looking for some variation on a gray scheme and pictures haven't been too much help. I did find the placement instructions to a set of decals that has an alternate scheme, so I'm using that. I don't want my Corsair to be so unusual as to be a "what if!" That is my story and I'm sticking to it! all best John
