  1. Thanks Danilo - very fast service and the shipment of the F-104 sheet took less than 3 days!! Many thanks! RipVW54
  2. No problem - its: w_van_winkle@msn.com Looking forward to hearing from you.
  3. Hi Dann - I'm interested in purchasing the Victory Productions Luftwaffe F-104 sheet if it is still available as copied from your list, below: victory productions 48003 F-104 Luftwaffe $50 Please PM me and we can work out the terms for payment (Paypal??) and shipment. Many thanks! RipVW54
  4. By the way - Here's the TF-104 I'm planning to reproduce in 1/48th Scale. August 1980 - Davis-Monthan AFB (just before a major monsoon storm).
  5. Hi Jeem - I checked the Daco site and unfortunately Danny is out of the reprints (again), even the stencil only sheet is sold out - however, thanks for the tip on the VP48003 sheet, I'll be checking in with Dann to see what we may be able to arrange. Rip VW
  6. Actually - only part of the sheet. I am completing a TF-104G model of an actual Starfighter (63-8454) that I shot at DMAFB in August 1980. It was bare metal, obviously a Luftwaffe jet based at Luke which stopped by DM for some fuel (and lunch). The jet was covered with stencils and the closest decal set I've seen with that many stencil decals is Victory Sheet VPD48003. The sheet contained two complete sets of stencil decals and I'm hoping someone may have at least one full set of the stencils available (and a copy of the instruction sheet). I realize the s
  7. Hi Peter - First of all - Many thanks for replying to my request. The short answer is no thanks - I managed a work around. I was attempting to make the ejection triangle look torn as in one of the photos I have of SCAT XXVII by tearing the decal after application - dumb idea. I ended up trashing the decal. After searching through the old spare decals box I came up with a set of overlays that nearly matched the kit decal and went with the complex trim and overlay process; then over-painting the decal with the background color to simulate the torn decal on the original aircraft. That worke
  8. Yeah - I pooched one of the Ejection Seat Triangles from the Scat XXVII decal sheet, just a wee bit overly aggressive after setting solution was applied. So . . . Sigh - I'm hoping someone may have this kit and used an aftermarket decal set instead of the kit decals and can bail me at least one of the red ejection seat triangles (if not all four). These are unique in that they are red with the White Ejection Seat inside the triangle and Danger in black outside the triangle. Please reply or PM me and I'll be happy to work up an exchange or payment. Rip VW
  9. Actually - All I really need is the Red Letter A (Decal 12). I photographed 58-0306 at Bangor in July 1974 and the "A Flight" red letter is on both left and right main landing gear doors. Unfortunately, the sheet only has one A and I need two in order to correctly complete my F-101B build. Many thanks to anyone that can help - Again, I don't need the entire sheet - only the Red letter A. Rip -
  10. Actually had to go back and check my original input. Since I really suck at typing - I normally prepare inputs in MS Word first then paste the item up after spell and content check. My only guess is that Shane's input is the most likely cause for -m-a-r-u- being censored . . . . . (Let's see what happens now). For Byron - Pudgy IV markings are from Super Scale sheet 48-415, released sometime around 1993. Be aware that the aircraft is incorrectly identified as a P-38L. It is in fact a P-38J based upon the timing of aircraft transitions for Major McGuire at 22 victories in his bi
  11. Many thanks guys - However, I completed PPM over the summer with the decals provided by ReccePhreak. I was also working on McGuire's Pudgy IV at the same time - both are now complete - photos attached (I hope). No fooling - these two project kits were started in 1995 and banked for 20 years - what a difference in product availability and references for us modeler's in the past 20 years - Enjoy the photos!! - Rip VW - (Well . . . . I would have attached a few photos of the completed models but the 0.1MB restriction prevents me from down sizing the photos small enough to add t
  12. Wow - that was a 2013 release and from what I see on the decal set above - they got the majority of the markings right for both PPM3 and PPM5. Thanks Larry!! I started the Jt-2 kit in 1994 and completed the majority of the assemblies by1995. Then for a various number of "Life" reasons, it sat in an uncompleted state for over two decades. I started it back up over Christmas 2016 (I'm recently retired - now I have time) and was completely unaware of the limited edition kit in 2013. My father was at Tacloban and remembers Colonel MacDonald as well as Putt Putt ****. Although dad
  13. I'm looking for the "Putt Putt ****" decal from the Hasegawa 1/48th Scale P-38L, "Geronimo II" Kit Number Jt-2 (circa 1993). The kit only has one however, photos of the actual aircraft shows the same marking on both sides of the aircraft. I have several other decal sheets with PPM - however, the Hasegawa kit markings are correct for the version of PPM I have completed - just need to get the same markings on the right side . . . Thanks to anyone that is able to assist! Willing to pay for shipping, trade other decal sheets (go fish) or send detail photos of P-38s in exchange. Rip VW
